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, "I have begun to give you Sihon and his country. Go ahead! Take possession of his land."

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

33 The LORD our God gave Sihon to us, and we defeated him, his sons, and all his troops.

34 At that time we captured all his cities and claimed them for God by destroying men, women, and children. There were no survivors.

35 However, we did loot the cities that we captured, taking the cattle and goods.
