29 No devoted person who might be devoted to destruction* from among mankind may be redeemed.+ He should be put to death without fail.+

16 It is only of the cities of these peoples that Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance that you must not preserve any breathing thing* alive,+

21 And they went devoting all that was in the city, from man to woman, from young man to old man and to bull and sheep and ass, to destruction by the edge of the sword.+
