19“WhenH3588 you besiegeH6696 a cityH5892 for 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, so you shall not cutH3772 them downH3772. For 5is the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 a humanH120, that it should 6be besiegedH4692 by you?
