Ulangan 19:13

19:13 You must not pity him, but purge out the blood of the innocent ¹  from Israel, so that it may go well with you.

Ulangan 20:13

20:13 The Lord your God will deliver it over to you ²  and you must kill every single male by the sword.

Ulangan 28:24

28:24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust; it will come down on you from the sky until you are destroyed.

[19:13]  ¹ sn Purge out the blood of the innocent. Because of the corporate nature of Israel’s community life, the whole community shared in the guilt of unavenged murder unless and until vengeance occurred. Only this would restore spiritual and moral equilibrium (Num 35:33).

[20:13]  ² tn Heb “to your hands.”
