Janganlah ada sesuatu pun dari barang yang dikhususkan untuk ditumpas itu melekat pada tanganmu, supaya Yang Mahakekal berbalik dari murka-Nya yang menyala-nyala dan memberikan belas kasihan kepadamu, mengasihani engkau, dan membuat engkau bertambah banyak, sebagaimana telah Ia janjikan dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyangmu,
Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs of the Nations
The substance of the righteous therein, who are the rest of the population of the city which was not seduced together with a majority thereof, is burned among its general spoil, because they continued to dwell there their property is forfeited. And, whosoever enjoys aught of the spoil thereof, is lashed, even as it is said: "And there shall cleave nought of the devoted thing to thy hand" (Ibid, 13.18.).11
Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs of the Nations
Whosoever carries out an execution against a seduced city is like one who sacrifices a burnt-offering, even as it is said: "Every whit, unto the Lord thy God" (Deut. 13.17). Moreover, he removes the fierceness of God's anger from among Israel, even as it is said: "That the Lord may turn from the fierceness of His anger" (Ibid. 13.18), and brings upon them blessing and mercy, even as it is said: "And show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee" (Ibid.).21Ibid. C.
Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs of the Nations
Idolatry, its articles of service, that which is offered to it, and all that is made for its sake, nought thereof should be enjoyed, even as it is said: "And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house" (Ibid. 7.26); and whosoever enjoys aught of one of these is striped twice; once, because it is said: "Thou shalt not bring" (Ibid.) and once more because it is said: "And there shall cleave nought of the devoted thing to thy hand" (Ibid. 13.18).2Ibid.
