Deuteronomy 3:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:7

But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities
The oxen and sheep, camels and asses; their gold and silver, and the furniture of their houses; their stores of corn, and of other fruits of the earth, even all their substance of whatsoever kind:

we took for a prey to ourselves;
made them their own property, and used them for their own profit and service, whereby they became greatly enriched.

Deuteronomy 3:7 In-Context

5 all strong cities, lofty walls, gates and bars; besides the very many cities of the Pherezites.

6 We utterly destroyed as we dealt with Seon the king of Esebon, so we utterly destroyed every city in order, and the women and the children,

7 and all the cattle; and we took for a prey to ourselves the spoil of the cities.

8 And we took at that time the land out of the hands of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, from the brook of Arnon even unto Aermon.

9 The Phoenicians call Aermon Sanior, but the Amorite has called it Sanir.
