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 The LORD said to me: Look! Right now I'm laying Sihon and his land before you. It's time to take possession of his land!

32 Sihon and all his forces came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz.

33 But the LORD our God gave him to us. We struck him down, along with his sons, and all his forces.

34 At that time, we captured all of Sihon's cities, and we placed every town—men, women, and children—under the ban. We left no survivors.

35 The only things we kept for ourselves were the animals and the plunder from the towns we had taken.
