18soH4616 that they may not teachH3925 you to doH6213 1according to allH3605 their detestableH8441 thingsH8441 whichH834 they have doneH6213 for their godsH430, so that you would 2sinH2398 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. 3For is the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 a manH120, that it should 4be besiegedH4692 by you?
