Adulterous
Cities To Be Judged.
Moses
spoke to them about adulterous cities in the land of their possession.
“If
you hear a report about one of the cities that the Lord your God gives you to
dwell in, that some of the men, worthless fellows, have gone out and have
contacted some of the inhabitants of that city in an attempt to entice them to
depart from your God, and to serve other gods, then you must enquire and search,
and do due diligence to find them, and if you find the report concerning them
to be true, and you are sure that such abomination is taking place among you,
then smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, and utterly
destroy it and everything in it, including the cattle, and take all the spoils
of that city, and burn it in the middle of the street, and leave that city a
heap forever, never to be rebuilt. And nothing from that city shall be taken in
hand so that the anger of the Lord shall turn away from you, and that He may
show mercy and compassion towards you. And you shall take heed of the
commandment of the Lord which I command you this day, to do always that which
is right in the sight of the Lord your God”
