Deuteronomy 20:16-20

But of the cities
<05892>
of these people
<05971>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
doth give
<05414> (8802)
thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>_,
thou shalt save alive
<02421> (8762)
nothing that breatheth
<05397>_:
But thou shalt utterly
<02763> (8687)
destroy
<02763> (8686)
them; [namely], the Hittites
<02850>_,
and the Amorites
<0567>_,
the Canaanites
<03669>_,
and the Perizzites
<06522>_,
the Hivites
<02340>_,
and the Jebusites
<02983>_;
as the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee:
That they teach
<03925> (8762)
you not to do
<06213> (8800)
after all their abominations
<08441>_,
which they have done
<06213> (8804)
unto their gods
<0430>_;
so should ye sin
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_.
When thou shalt besiege
<06696> (8799)
a city
<05892>
a long
<07227>
time
<03117>_,
in making war
<03898> (8736)
against it to take
<08610> (8800)
it, thou shalt not destroy
<07843> (8686)
the trees
<06086>
thereof by forcing
<05080> (8800)
an axe
<01631>
against them: for thou mayest eat
<0398> (8799)
of them, and thou shalt not cut them down
<03772> (8799)
(for the tree
<06086>
of the field
<07704>
[is] man's
<0120>
[life]) to employ
<0935> (8800)
[them] in the siege
<06440> <04692>_:
{for the...: or, for, O man, the tree of the field is to be employed in the siege} {to employ...: Heb. to go from before thee}
Only the trees
<06086>
which thou knowest
<03045> (8799)
that they [be] not trees
<06086>
for meat
<03978>_,
thou shalt destroy
<07843> (8686)
and cut them down
<03772> (8804)_;
and thou shalt build
<01129> (8804)
bulwarks
<04692>
against the city
<05892>
that maketh
<06213> (8802)
war
<04421>
with thee, until it be subdued
<03381> (8800)_.
{it...: Heb. it come down}
