For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

διοτι παρα Κυριου εγεινε το να σκληρυνθωσιν αι καρδιαι αυτων, να ελθωσιν εις μαχην κατα του Ισραηλ, δια να εξολοθρευθωσι, να μη γεινη εις αυτους ελεος, αλλα να εξαφανισθωσι, καθως ο Κυριος προσεταξεν εις τον Μωυσην.

For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
