"Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations."
— Deuteronomy 20:15, World English Bible
“Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.”
“Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. ”
“This is how you are to deal with all those cities located far from you, those that do not belong to these nearby nations.”
“So shalt thou do to all cities that are at a great distance from thee, and are not of these cities which thou shalt receive in possession.”
“So you are to do to all the towns far away, which are not the towns of these nations.”
“Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.”
If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it:
and when Yahweh your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:
but the women, and the little ones, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its spoil, you shall take for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which Yahweh your God has given you.
Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
But of the cities of these peoples, that Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as Yahweh your God has commanded you;
that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so would you sin against Yahweh your God.
