Deuteronomy 2:34

2:34 At that time we seized all his cities and put every one of them ¹  under divine judgment, ²  including even the women and children; we left no survivors.

Deuteronomy 3:6

3:6 We put all of these under divine judgment ³  just as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon – every occupied city, ⁴  including women and children.

¹ tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

² tn Heb “under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). The verb employed is חָרַם (kharam, usually in the Hiphil) and the associated noun is חֵרֶם (kherem). See J. Naudé, NIDOTTE, 2:276-77, and, for a more thorough discussion, Susan Niditch, War in the Hebrew Bible, 28-77.

³ tn Heb “we put them under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). See note at 2:34.

⁴ tn Heb “city of men.”
