Deuteronomy 18:12
18:12 Whoever does these things is abhorrent to the Lord and because of these detestable things 1 the Lord your God is about to drive them out 2 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.
1 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.
2 tn The translation understands the Hebrew participial form as having an imminent future sense here.
