Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
Debes atacar completamente a la gente de esa ciudad con la espada, destruyéndola por completo junto con todo lo que hay en ella, incluyendo el ganado.
Dios ordenaba la destrucción total de las ciudades que se apartaran de Él hacia la idolatría.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This command was given to ancient Israel as they prepared to enter the Promised Land, where they would encounter cities practicing idolatry and child sacrifice. In the ancient Near East, such complete destruction was meant to prevent the spread of religious practices that God considered abominable, including the worship of gods like Molech who demanded child sacrifice. This was part of God's specific instructions for dealing with apostasy within Israelite cities during their unique role as His chosen nation in establishing His presence in the land.
