Devarim 2:35

35 Only the behemah we took for booty unto ourselves, and the plunder of the towns which we took.

Devarim 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.

Devarim 2:35 In-Context

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.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of Wadi Arnon, and from the town that is by the wadi, even unto Gil‘ad, there was not one town too strong for us; Hashem Eloheinu delivered all unto us:
37 Only unto the Eretz Bnei Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the Wadi Yabok, nor unto the towns in the hills, in accordance with the command of Hashem Eloheinu.
