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:
Pero en las ciudades de estos pueblos que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da como herencia, no dejarás con vida a nada que respire.
En las ciudades que Dios daba como herencia a Israel, debían eliminar completamente a todos los habitantes.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses is delivering God's laws to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt. This verse specifically addresses the command to completely destroy the inhabitants of certain Canaanite cities that God was giving as an inheritance, to prevent the Israelites from adopting the idolatrous practices of those nations. It reflects the ancient Near Eastern context of total warfare and God's emphasis on maintaining covenantal purity and holiness among His people.
