Deuteronomy 2:33-34

Context
2:33 the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, along with his sons 1  and everyone else. 2  2:34 At that time we seized all his cities and put every one of them 3  under divine judgment, 4  including even the women and children; we left no survivors.

[2:33]  1 tc The translation follows the Qere or marginal reading; the Kethib (consonantal text) has the singular, “his son.”

[2:33]  2 tn Heb “all his people.”

[2:34]  3 tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

[2:34]  4 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.
