Deuteronomy 18:12

18:12 Whoever does these things is abhorrent to the Lord and because of these detestable things the Lord your God is about to drive them out from before you.

Deuteronomy 20:12

20:12 If it does not accept terms of peace but makes war with you, then you are to lay siege to it.

tn Heb “these abhorrent things.” The repetition is emphatic. For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the same term used earlier in the verse has been translated “detestable” here.

tn The translation understands the Hebrew participial form as having an imminent future sense here.
