¹⁵ And Moses saith unto them, `Have ye kept alive every female?

³ Now, go, and thou hast smitten Amalek, and devoted all that it hath, and thou hast no pity on it, and hast put to death from man unto woman, from infant unto suckling, from ox unto sheep, from camel unto ass.'

⁶ aged, young man, and virgin, and infant, and women, ye do slay -- to destruction; and against any man on whom `is' the mark ye do not go nigh, and from My sanctuary ye begin.'

¹⁰ Cursed `is' he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed `is' he Who is withholding his sword from blood.

¹⁸ so that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have sinned against Jehovah your God.

¹³ and Jehovah thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou hast smitten every male of it by the mouth of the sword.

³⁴ and we capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city, men, and the women, and the infants -- we have not left a remnant;
