"That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should you sin against the LORD your God. ¶ "
— Deuteronomy 20:18, American King James Version
“That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the Lord your God.”
“that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so would ye sin against Jehovah your God. ”
“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.”
“so that they cannot teach you all the abhorrent ways they worship their gods, causing you to sin against the LORD your God.”
“Lest they teach you to do all the abominations which they have done to their gods: and you should sin against the Lord your God.”
“So that you may not take them as your example and do all the disgusting things which they do in the worship of their gods, so sinning against the Lord your God.”
“That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the Lord your God.”
Thus shall you 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 people, which the LORD your God does give you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes:
But you shall utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD your God has commanded you:
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should you sin against the LORD your God. ¶
When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them: for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
Only the trees which you know that they be not trees for meat, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it be subdued.
