16 It is only of the cities of these peoples that Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance that you must not preserve any breathing thing* alive,+

2 And you must do to Aʹi and to its king just as you did to Jerʹi·cho and its king.+ Only YOU people may plunder its spoil and its domestic animals for yourselves.+ Set an ambush of yours against the city at its rear.”+

27 Only the domestic animals and the spoil of that city Israel plundered for themselves, according to Jehovah’s word that he had laid in command upon Joshua.+
