10“WhenH3588 you approachH7126 a cityH5892 to fightH3898 againstH5921 it, you shall 1offerH7121 it termsH7121 of peaceH7965. 11IfH518 it 2agreesH6030 to makeH6030 peaceH7965 with you and opensH6605 to you, then allH3605 the peopleH5971 who are foundH4672 in it shall becomeH1961 your 3forcedH4522 laborH4522 and shall serveH5647 you. 12However, ifH518 it does not makeH7999 peaceH7999 with you, but makesH6213 warH4421 againstH5973 you, then you shall besiegeH6696 it. 13When the LordH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 it into your handH3027, 4you shall strikeH5221 allH3605 the 5menH2138 in it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 14OnlyH7534 the womenH802 and the childrenH2945 and 6the animalsH929 and allH3605 that is in the cityH5892, allH3605 its spoilH7998, you shall takeH962 as bootyH962 for yourself; and you shall 7useH398 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH340 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you. 15ThusH3651 you shall doH6213 to allH3605 the citiesH5892 that are veryH3966 farH7350 from you, whichH834 are not of the citiesH5892 of theseH428 nationsH1471 8nearbyH2008. 169OnlyH7534 in the citiesH5892 of theseH428 peoplesH5971 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you as an inheritanceH5159, you shall not leaveH2421 aliveH2421 anythingH3605 that breathesH5397. 17But you shall 10utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them, the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983, as the LordH3068 your GodH430 has commandedH6680 you, 18soH4616 that they may not teachH3925 you to doH6213 11according to allH3605 their detestableH8441 thingsH8441 whichH834 they have doneH6213 for their godsH430, so that you would 12sinH2398 against the LordH3068 your GodH430.

19“WhenH3588 you besiegeH6696 a cityH5892 a longH7227 timeH3117, to makeH3898 warH3898 againstH5921 it in order to captureH8610 it, you shall not destroyH7843 its treesH6086 by swingingH5080 an axeH1631 againstH5921 them; for you may eatH398 from them, and you shall not cutH3772 them downH3772. 13For is the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 a manH120, that it should 14be besiegedH4692 by you? 20OnlyH7534 the treesH6086 whichH834 you knowH3045 15are not fruitH3978 treesH6086 you shall destroyH7843 and cutH3772 downH3772, that you may constructH1129 siegeworksH4692 againstH5921 the cityH5892 that is makingH6213 warH4421 with you untilH5704 it fallsH3381.
