10When thou comest nigh <07126> (8799) unto a city <05892> to fight <03898> (8736) against it, then proclaim <07121> (8804) peace <07965> unto it.
11And it shall be, if it make thee answer <06030> (8799) of peace <07965>_, and open <06605> (8804) unto thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people <05971> [that is] found <04672> (8737) therein shall be tributaries <04522> unto thee, and they shall serve <05647> (8804) thee.
12And if it will make no peace <07999> (8686) with thee, but will make <06213> (8804) war <04421> against thee, then thou shalt besiege <06696> (8804) it:
13And when the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath delivered <05414> (8804) it into thine hands <03027>_, thou shalt smite <05221> (8689) every male <02138> thereof with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>_:
14But the women <0802>_, and the little ones <02945>_, and the cattle <0929>_, and all that is in the city <05892>_, [even] all the spoil <07998> thereof, shalt thou take <0962> (8799) unto thyself; and thou shalt eat <0398> (8804) the spoil <07998> of thine enemies <0341> (8802)_, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) thee. {take: Heb. spoil}

16But 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>_:
17But 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:
18That 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>_.
19When 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}
20Only 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}
