“They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,”
They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields. The seizure of all property — flocks, herds, donkeys — is the full economic consequence visited on the community whose male population was killed. The application: the economic devastation that follows from collective violence is one of the reasons the violence was wrong — an entire community bears the consequence of one person's act.
