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, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours.

32 Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

33 And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people.

34 At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:

35 Only the cattle we took for ourselves, with the goods from the towns we had taken.
