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 And the LORD said to me, 'Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.'
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33 And the LORD our God gave him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.
34 And we captured all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction every city, men, women, and children. We left no survivors.
35 Only the livestock we took as spoil for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities that we captured.
