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.
Si la ciudad te responde con paz y te abre sus puertas, entonces toda la gente que vive allí se convertirá en tus súbditos y te servirá.
Una ciudad que se rinde pacíficamente será sometida a servir, pero su gente será preservada.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of ancient Israel, Deuteronomy 20 was part of the laws given by Moses to guide the Israelites in warfare as they prepared to enter and conquer the Promised Land under God's command. This verse specifically addresses what happens if a besieged city chooses peace, requiring its people to become tributaries and serve Israel, reflecting the common ancient Near Eastern practice of subjugation after surrender. Such instructions emphasized God's sovereignty and the ethical boundaries for Israelite military actions during their expansion.
