Why did Moshe ask Sichon to sell Yisrael bread but to give them water?
Perhaps it is because, unlike bread, which requires preparing and baking, water requires no preparaton, and which, due to the many brooks of Arnon, was available in abundance - and the money was to pay for the service. 1
What kind of food did they ask to purchase from Sichon?
Avodah Zarah, 37b: Food, which like water, was raw. 1
?Ochel ba?Kesef Tashbireni ? ?. Seeing as they had the Manna and Miriam?s well, why did they need to purchase food and water from Sichon?
Refer to 2:6:2:1-3.
?Rak E?ebrah be?Raglai?. What are the connotations of ?be?Raglai??
R. Bachye: It means ?with my hosts?. 1
R. Bachye: And that is also the meaning of the word ?Raglav? - in the Pasuk in Zecharyah 14:4 ?Ve?amdu Raglav ba?Yom ha?Hu al Har ha?Zeisim?.
