""Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes."
— Deuteronomy 20:16, NASB
“But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:”
“But of the cities of these peoples, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth; ”
“But of the cities of these peoples, that Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;”
“Laws Concerning War with Canaanite Nations As for the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is going to give you as an inheritance, you must not allow a single living thing to survive.”
“But of those cities that shall be given thee, thou shalt suffer none at all to live:”
“But in the towns of these peoples whose land the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, let no living thing be kept from death:”
“But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:”
"When the LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword.
"Only the women and the children and the animals and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourself; and you shall use the spoil of your enemies which the LORD your God has given you.
"Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations nearby.
"Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes.
"But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you,
so that they may not teach you to do according to all their detestable things which they have done for their gods, so that you would sin against the LORD your God.
"When you besiege a city a long time, to make war against it in order to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by swinging an axe against them; for you may eat from them, and you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by you?
