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.
