Deuteronomy 2:33 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:33

And the Lord our God delivered him before us
With their lands:

and we smote him and his sons, and all his people;
with the edge of the sword; slew them all: the Cetib or textual reading is "his son", though the Keri or margin is "his sons", which we follow. So Jarchi observes, it is written "his son", because he had a son mighty as himself, he says.

Deuteronomy 2:33 In-Context

31 The LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sichon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.

32 Then Sichon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Yahatz.

33 The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:

35 only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
