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.

7 But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took as our booty.
8 So we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon
