Question
Hello,
In Deuteronomy 2:6, we learn that the children of Israel had to buy food from the sons of Esau when passing through Mount Seir.
If they had manna at that time, why did they need additional food?
Answer
Hello
Indeed, the children of Israel did not need it.
However, if they were passing through their territory, they would purchase to show respect to their hosts.
