Be warned:
many Bible References to the fine art of the God inspired activity of placing peoples under the ban follow.
"waged the campaign against Midian, as Yahweh had ordered Moses, and they put every male to death... the sons of Israel took the Midianite women captive with their young children, and plundered all their cattle, all their flocks and all their goods. They set fire to the towns where they lived and all their encampments... Then, when they took the captives, spoil and booty to Moses..., Moses was enraged.... 'why have you spared the life of all the women...? So kill all the male children. Kill also all the women who have slept with a man. Spare the lives only of the young girls who have not slept with a man, and take them for yourselves". {Num 31: 7-19}
"Yahweh our God delivered him over to us... We captured all his cities and laid whole towns under ban , men, women and children; we spared nothing but the livestock which we took as our spoil". {Deut 2: 33-35. NRSV translation of this passage "the LORD our God gave him over to us; and we struck him down, along with all his offspring and all his people. At the time we captured all his towns, and in each town we utterly destroyed men, women, and children. We left not a single survivor. ..."}
in the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan: "We captured all his towns at that time... Sixty towns... We laid them under ban ... - the whole town, men, women and children, under the ban ". {Deut 3: 4-7}
"if (a town) refuses peace and offers resistance,... Yahweh your God shall deliver it unto your power and you are to put all its menfolk to the sword. But the women, the children, the livestock and all that the town contains, all its spoil, you may take for yourselves as booty". {Deut 20: 12-14}
Book of Joshua, - the fall of Jericho: "Then Yahweh said to Joshua, 'Now I am delivering Jericho and its king into your hands". So, when "the walls of Jericho came tumbling down", the warriors "enforced the ban on everything in the town: men and women, young and old, even the oxen and sheep and donkeys, massacring them all". {Josh 6: 21}
"Yahweh said to Joshua... "You are to do with Ai and its king as you did with Jericho and its king... "the number of those who fell that day, men and women together, was twelve thousand, all people of Ai ... All to a man had fallen by the edge of the sword". {Josh 8: 2 and 8: 24-5}
Yahweh gave into the power of Israel; and Israel struck every living creature there with the edge of the sword, and left none alive". {Josh 10: 30}
God apparently chooses His chosen to engage in genocide.
and murder. Show no quarter when you are in God's service of ridding the promised land of undesirable Nations. Let the blood flow!
1 SAMUEL Chapter 15.
God is such great inspiration. With God on my side can the genocide and murder I want to perpetrate be justified?
not to be too harsh and un-P.C.
Did God's chosen people get there come-uppence?
