Deuteronomy 3:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:7

But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities
The oxen and sheep, camels and asses; their gold and silver, and the furniture of their houses; their stores of corn, and of other fruits of the earth, even all their substance of whatsoever kind:

we took for a prey to ourselves;
made them their own property, and used them for their own profit and service, whereby they became greatly enriched.

Deuteronomy 3:7 In-Context

5 All of these cities were fortified with high walls and double-door gates with bars across the gates. We also captured a large number of unwalled villages.

6 We claimed them all for God, destroying every city, including men, women, and children--as we did to King Sihon of Heshbon.

7 However, we did loot the cities, taking all of the cattle and goods.

8 We took the land of the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon.
