Listen to Números 21:2
2 Entonces Israel hizo un voto al SEÑOR y dijo: Si en verdad entregas a este pueblo en mis manos, yo destruiré por completo sus ciudades.

Números 21:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 21:2

And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord
The Israelites made supplication to the Lord for help against their enemies, and that he would give them victory over them, and made promises to him:

and said, if thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand;
certainly and entirely deliver them, so as that a complete victory shall be obtained over them:

then will I utterly destroy their cities;
or "anathematize", or devote them to utter destruction F15; slay man and beast, burn their houses and take their goods, not for a spoil, for their own private use, but reserve them for the service of God; all which is implied in the vow made, as was done to Jericho, ( Joshua 6:21 Joshua 6:24 ) and so it is a vow, as Abendana observes, of what they would do when they came to the land of Canaan.

Números 21:2 In-Context

1 Cuando el cananeo, el rey de Arad, que habitaba en el Neguev, oyó que Israel subía por el camino de Atarim , peleó contra Israel y le tomó algunos prisioneros.
2 Entonces Israel hizo un voto al SEÑOR y dijo: Si en verdad entregas a este pueblo en mis manos, yo destruiré por completo sus ciudades.
3 Y oyó el SEÑOR la voz de Israel y les entregó a los cananeos; y ellos los destruyeron por completo a ellos y a sus ciudades. Por eso se llamó a aquel lugar Horma .
4 Partieron del monte de Hor, por el camino del mar Rojo, para rodear la tierra de Edom, y el pueblo se impacientó por causa del viaje.
5 Y el pueblo habló contra Dios y Moisés: ¿Por qué nos habéis sacado de Egipto para morir en el desierto? Pues no hay comida ni agua, y detestamos este alimento tan miserable.
