Numbers 21:21-22 King James Version (KJV)
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
Numbers 21:21-22 New King James Version (NKJV)
King Sihon Defeated
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
21 Messengers were often sent in these days before they would arrive. We are the messengers for Jesus before He comes back.
22 He is asking to pass thru this land, they are asking so that there isn’t conflict and that they can pass in peace. Them passing wouldn’t cause anything for the Amorites, wouldn’t do anything for them but make an ally in Israel. We need to be allies as Christians because we serve the same Lord.
