Devarim 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.

Devarim 2:33 In-Context

31 And Hashem said unto me, See, I have begun to give Sichon and his land before thee; begin the occupation, that thou mayest take possession to inherit his land.
32 Then Sichon came out against us, he and all his people, to make milchamah (battle, war) at Yachatz.
33 And Hashem Eloheinu delivered him before us; and we struck him, and his banim, and all his people.
34 And we took all his towns at that time, and in cherem utterly destroyed them, and of the nashim, and the little ones, of every town, we left no remnant;
35 Only the behemah we took for booty unto ourselves, and the plunder of the towns which we took.
