Deuteronomy 20:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ “As for the towns of these peoples, which Adonai your God is giving you as your inheritance, you are not to allow anything that breathes to live. ¹⁷ Rather you must destroy them completely — the Hitti, the Emori, the Kena‘ani, the P’rizi, the Hivi and the Y’vusi — as Adonai your God has ordered you; ¹⁸ so that they won’t teach you to follow their abominable practices, which they do for their gods, thus causing you to sin against Adonai your God.
