Deuteronomy 2:34

2:34 At that time we seized all his cities and put every one of them ¹  under divine judgment, ²  including even the women and children; we left no survivors.

Deuteronomy 7:10

7:10 but who pays back those who hate ³  him as they deserve and destroys them. He will not ignore ⁴  those who hate him but will repay them as they deserve!

¹ tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

² tn Heb “under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). The verb employed is חָרַם (kharam, usually in the Hiphil) and the associated noun is חֵרֶם (kherem). See J. Naudé, NIDOTTE, 2:276-77, and, for a more thorough discussion, Susan Niditch, War in the Hebrew Bible, 28-77.

³ tn For the term “hate” as synonymous with rejection or disobedience see note on the word “reject” in Deut 5:9 (cf. NRSV “reject”).

⁴ tn Heb “he will not hesitate concerning.”
