Deuteronomy 2:35 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:35

Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves
These they did not destroy, but preserved alive for their own use and profit, and took them as their own property:

and the spoil of the cities which we took;
as household goods, gold, silver, and whatever valuable was found by them; this they took as plunder, and shared it among themselves.

Deuteronomy 2:35 In-Context

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.

36 From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon and from the town in the valley as far as Gilead, no town was strong enough to keep us out; the Lord our God gave them all into our hands:

37 But you did not go near the land of the children of Ammon, that is, all the side of the river Jabbok or the towns of the hill-country, wherever the Lord our God had said we were not to go.
