Deuteronomy 13:15-18

15Thou shalt surelyH5221 smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of that cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, destroying it utterlyH2763, and all that is therein, and the cattleH929 thereof, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

16And thou shalt gatherH6908 all the spoilH7998 of it into the midstH8432 of the streetH7339 thereof, and shalt burnH8313 with fireH784 the cityH5892, and all the spoilH7998 thereof every whitH3632, for YhwhH3068 thy GodH430: and it shall be an heapH8510 for everH5769; it shall not be built againH1129.

17And there shall cleaveH1692 noughtH3972 of the cursed thingH2764 to thine handH3027: that YhwhH3068 may turnH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, and shewH5414 thee mercyH7356, and have compassionH7355 upon thee, and multiplyH7235 thee, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1;1

18When thou shalt hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 all his commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430.
