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, "See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin now to take possession of his land."

32 So when Sihon came out against us, he and all his people for battle at Jahaz,

33 the Lord our God gave him over to us; and we struck him down, along with his offspring and all his people.

34 At that time we captured all his towns, and in each town we utterly destroyed men, women, and children. We left not a single survivor.

35 Only the livestock we kept as spoil for ourselves, as well as the plunder of the towns that we had captured.
