ExplanationCommentary
Verse 19. Spoils. So far from it, they even lost their lives. Menochius.—Hebrew “they took no piece (or gain) of money.” If we understand this of the Israelites, we nay say that they stopped not to plunder the slain, nor would they suffer any to redeem their life by the promise of a great ransom. Whatever riches they found afterwards, they consecrated to the Lord, in testimony of their gratitude. Calmet. Numbers 31:54.
