20

That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.

But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:

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:

Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.

But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:

And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.

When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.

And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.

And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren"s heart faint as well as his heart.

And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.

And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.

And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.

For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;

And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,

When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.

And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
