Any person who eats any blood -- that person will be cut off from his people.'"

You asked the Lord your God: "Please do not make us hear the voice of the Lord our God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die." The Lord then said to me, "What they have said is good. I will raise up a prophet like you for them from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak to them whatever I command.

However, the women, little children, cattle, and anything else in the city -- all its plunder -- you may take for yourselves as spoil. You may take from your enemies the plunder that the Lord your God has given you. read more. This is how you are to deal with all those cities located far from you, those that do not belong to these nearby nations.

However, you may chop down any tree you know is not suitable for food, and you may use it to build siege works against the city that is making war with you until that city falls.

The young woman's father must say to the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man and he has rejected her.

The elders of that city must then seize the man and punish him.
