But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities,.... The oxen and sheep, camels and asses; their gold and silver, and the furniture of their houses; their stores of corn, and of other fruits of the earth, even all their substance of whatsoever kind:
we took for a prey to ourselves; made them their own property, and used them for their own profit and service, whereby they became greatly enriched.
