12 If thou hear say, that in any of the cities which the Lord thy God giveth thee to dwell in, 13 Some wicked men are gone from among you, and have seduced the inhabitants of their cities, saying, let us go and serve other gods whom ye have not known: 14 Then shalt thou search, and inquire, and examine the matter throughly, & if it be true & certain that such abomination hath been done among you: 15 Thou shalt root out the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroy the city, and all that is in it, and the very cattle thereof with the edge of the sword. 16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil thereof together into the midst of the city, and burn up the city and all the spoil thereof with fire to the Lord thy God: and it shall be a heap for ever, and never be builded again, ⟨p. 547⟩17 And none of the cursed things shall stick to thy hands, that the Lord your God may turn away the fierceness of his wrath from thee, and give thee mercy, and have pity upon thee and multiply thee, as he sware to thy fathers, 18 Because thou shalt have obeyed the voice of the Lord thy God, in keeping all his commandments which I command thee this day, to the end thou mayest do the things that are right in the eyes of the Lord thy God.
