DEUTERONOMY 13:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.”
None of those condemned things shall be found in your hands, so that the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and will be merciful to you, and will have compassion on you, and will increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your ancestors — the destruction of the apostate city removes the contamination and turns away divine wrath. Covenant mercies (compassion, multiplication) are restored through the purge.
