Ramban on Deuteronomy 2:6/רמב"ן על דברים ב׳:ו׳

אאֹכֶל תִּשְׁבְּרוּ מֵאִתָּם בַּכֶּסֶף, אִם תִּתְאַוּוּ לֶאֱכֹל מִפֵּרוֹת אַרְצָם לֹא תִקְחוּ מֵהֶם רַק בְּכֶסֶף מָלֵא לִרְצוֹנָם, וְזֶה טַעַם מֵאִתָּם. וְגַם מַיִם לֹא תִּשְׁתּוּ מֵהֶם כְּלָל, רַק בַּכֶּסֶף לִרְצוֹנָם:
1YE SHALL PURCHASE FOOD OF THEM FOR MONEY. If you should desire to eat of the fruits of their land you should not take it from them except for the full price129, 23:9. at their pleasure, this being the sense of the word me’itam (of them) [purchase food ‘of them,’ i.e., with their consent]. Also you shall not drink water of them at all, except for money with their consent.
