— Deuteronomy 20:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:”
“and when Jehovah thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: ”
“and when Yahweh your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:”
“The LORD your God will deliver it over to you and you must kill every single male by the sword.”
“And when the Lord thy God shall deliver it into thy hands, thou shalt slay all that are therein of the male sex, with the edge of the sword,”
“And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.”
“And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:”
When, at any time, you approach a city to fight against it, you shall first offer peace to it.
If they receive it, and open the gates to you, then all the people who are in it shall be saved, and they shall serve you by paying tribute.
But if they are not willing to enter into an agreement, and they begin to act against you in warfare, then you shall besiege it.
And when the Lord your God will have delivered it into your hands, you shall strike down anyone who is in it, of the male gender, with the edge of the sword,
but not the women and young children, nor the cattle and the other things that are within the city. And you shall divide all the plunder to the soldiers, and you shall eat the spoils from your enemies, which the Lord your God will give to you.
So shall you do to all the cities which are at a great distance from you, those which are not among the cities that you shall receive as a possession.
But among those cities which shall be given to you, you shall not permit anyone at all to live.
