Deuteronomy 20:14-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. “Only the women, and the little ones, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you take as plunder for yourself. And you shall eat the enemies’ plunder which יהוה your Elohim gives you.

15. “Do so to all the cities which are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.

16. “Only, of the cities of these peoples which יהוה your Elohim gives you as an inheritance, you do not keep alive any that breathe,

17. but you shall certainly put them under the ban: the Ḥittite and the Amorite and the Kena‛anite and the Perizzite and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite, as יהוה your Elohim has commanded you,

18. lest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their mighty ones, and you sin against יהוה your Elohim.
