Deuteronomy 13:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 then you shall certainly strike down the inhabitants of that town with the edge[a] of the sword; you shall destroy it and everything in it, its domestic animals with the edge[b] of the sword. 16 And then you shall gather all of its booty into the middle of its public square, and you shall burn the town and all of its war-booty totally for Yahweh your God, and it shall be a pile of rubble forever;[c] it shall not be built again. 17 And let not something cling to your hand from the things devoted to destruction, so that Yahweh may turn back from his burning anger,[d] and he may show compassion to you and he may continue to show compassion and so multiply you just as he swore[e] to your ancestors,[f]
