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 God said to me, "Look, I've got the ball rolling - Sihon and his land are soon yours. Go ahead. Take it. It's practically yours!"

32 So Sihon and his entire army confronted us in battle at Jahaz.

33 God handed him, his sons, and his entire army over to us and we utterly crushed them.

34 While we were at it we captured all his towns and totally destroyed them, a holy destruction - men, women, and children. No survivors.

35 We took the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured and carried them off for ourselves.
