- 8And let the overseers go on to say to the people, If there is any man whose heart is feeble with fear, let him go back to his house before he makes the hearts of his countrymen feeble.
- 9Then, after saying these words to the people, let the overseers put captains over the army.
- 10When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace.
- 11And if it gives you back an answer of peace, opening its doors to you, then all the people in it may be put to forced work as your servants.
- 12If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides:
- 13And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.
- 14But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food.

- 19If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them?
