But in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes,

但这些国民的城，耶和华你神既赐你为业，其中凡有气息的，一个不可存留；

但是这些民族的城镇，就是耶和华—你上帝所赐给你的产业，其中凡有气息的，一个都不可存留。

但是这些民族的城镇，就是耶和华—你神所赐给你的产业，其中凡有气息的，一个都不可存留。

你们的上帝耶和华将把你们附近各族的城邑赐给你们，你们要将里面有气息的全部消灭。

只是在耶和华你的神赐给你作产业的这些国民的城市里，凡有气息的，连一个你也不可让他活着；

但這些國民的城，耶和華－你神既賜你為業，其中凡有氣息的，一個不可存留；

但是這些民族的城鎮，就是耶和華－你上帝所賜給你的產業，其中凡有氣息的，一個都不可存留。

但是這些民族的城鎮，就是耶和華－你神所賜給你的產業，其中凡有氣息的，一個都不可存留。

你們的上帝耶和華將把你們附近各族的城邑賜給你們，你們要將裡面有氣息的全部消滅。

只是在耶和華你的神賜給你作產業的這些國民的城市裡，凡有氣息的，連一個你也不可讓他活著；

只是永恆主你的上帝所賜給你以為業的這些別族之民的城市中、凡有氣息的、一個你也不要讓他活着；

惟此諸族之邑、爾上帝耶和華賜爾為業、凡有氣息者、勿留其一、

惟赫人、亞摩哩人、迦南人、比哩洗人、希未人、耶布士人、爾之上帝耶和華以其邑付爾得之、爾必盡滅其眾、凡有血氣者、不全其生、遵爾上帝耶和華命。

惟此列國之邑、主爾之天主所賜爾為業者、其中凡有血氣者、毋留其一、

However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.

But what about the cities the Lord your God is giving you as your own? Kill everything that breathes in those cities.

In those towns that the Lord your God is giving you as a special possession, destroy every living thing.

However, you must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Only in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave anything that breathes alive.

“ But of the cities of these peoples which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive,

But of the cities of these peoples, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth;

However, you must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee[ for] an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:

As for the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is going to give you as an inheritance, you must not allow a single living thing to survive.

But of the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;

And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the people of Israel took for their plunder. But every person they struck with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any who breathed.

And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said,“ If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.”And the Lord heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called Hormah.

And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the Lord for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction and bring trouble upon it.But all silver and gold, and every vessel of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.”So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.Then they devoted all in the city to destruction, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys, with the edge of the sword.

“ When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and mightier than you,and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them.You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons,for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you and destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their metal images and demolish all their high places.

As for Makkedah, Joshua captured it on that day and struck it, and its king, with the edge of the sword. He devoted to destruction every person in it; he left none remaining. And he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

And they struck with the sword all who were in it, devoting them to destruction; there was none left that breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire.And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua captured, and struck them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates, for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.

They answered Joshua,“ Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you— so we feared greatly for our lives because of you and did this thing.

So Joshua struck the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but devoted to destruction all that breathed, just as the Lord God of Israel commanded.

But Joshua made them that day cutters of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to this day, in the place that he should choose.

And you shall consume all the peoples that the Lord your God will give over to you. Your eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.
