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 ADONAI our God handed him over to us, so that we defeated him, his sons and all his people.
34 At that time we captured all his cities and completely destroyed every city - men, women, little ones - we left none of them.
35 As booty for ourselves we took only the cattle, along with the spoil from the cities we had captured.
36 From 'Aro'er, on the edge of the Arnon Valley, and from the city in the valley, all the way to Gil'ad, there was not one city too well fortified for us to capture -ADONAI our God gave all of them to us.
37 The only land you didn't approach was that of the descendants of 'Amon - the region around the Yabok River, the cities in the hills and wherever else ADONAI our God forbade us to go.
