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 "Then the Lord said to me, 'See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land to you. Begin to take possession of it.'

32 So Sihon and his whole army came out against us for battle at Jahaz.

33 The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we defeated him, his sons, and his whole army.

34 At that time we captured all his cities and completely destroyed the people of every city, including the women and children. We left no survivors.

35 We took only the livestock and the spoil from the cities we captured as plunder for ourselves.
