Deuteronomy 20:18 in Context — Deuteronomy 20

16 Porém das cidades destes povos que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá por herança, nenhuma pessoa deixarás com vida;

17 Antes por completo os destruirás: aos heteus, e aos amorreus, e aos cananeus, e aos perizeus, e aos heveus, e aos jebuseus; como o SENHOR teu Deus te mandou:

18 Para que não vos ensinem a fazer segundo todas suas abominações, que eles fazem a seus deuses, e pequeis contra o SENHOR vosso Deus.

19 Quando puseres cerco a alguma cidade, lutando contra ela muitos dias para tomá-la, não destruas seu arvoredo metendo nele machado, porque dele comerás; e não o cortarás, que não é homem a árvore do campo para vir contra ti no cerco.

20 Mas a árvore que souberes que não é árvore para comer, o destruirás e o cortarás, e constrói baluarte contra a cidade que luta contigo, até subjugá-la.
