Atrocities and Absurdities in the Bible
And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it unto thine hands, thou shalt
smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: but the women, and the
little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoils
thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine
enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
- Deuteronomy 20:13-14

condemned... Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his
children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually
vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate
places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers
spoil his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let
there be any to favor his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off;
and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
