It provided food, clothing, and labor. The Israelites, as a nomadic people transitioning to a settled life in the Promised Land, would have found livestock essential for their survival and economic stability. This phrase highlights the practical needs of the Israelites and God's provision for them through the conquest.<p><b>and plunder of the cities</b><br>The term "plunder" refers to the goods and valuables taken from the defeated cities. In the ancient world, plundering was a common practice after a military victory. It served as a reward for the victors and a means to sustain the community. This action was part of God's judgment on the Canaanite nations, fulfilling His promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<p><b>we carried off for ourselves.</b><br>This phrase indicates that the Israelites took possession of the goods as their own, signifying God's blessing and provision. It also reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to provide for His people as they entered the land He had sworn to give them. This act of taking possession is a precursor to the eventual settlement in the Promised Land, where the Israelites would establish their own society under God's law.
