SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:15
irremisiblemente herirás a filo de espada a los moradores de aquella ciudad, destruyéndola con todo lo que en ella hubiere , y también sus bestias a filo de espada .
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:15
Verse 15. Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants] If one city were permitted to practice idolatry, the evil would soon spread, therefore the contagion must be destroyed in its birth.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword , etc.] This could not be the work of a single person, nor of the whole sanhedrim, but was what the whole nation was to join in, according to the above note: destroying it utterly ; pulling down the houses, and demolishing its walls and fortifications, or burning it, as afterwards explained: and all that is therein ; men, women, and children: and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword ; this severity was used to show the Lord’s indignation against the sin of idolatry, and to deter persons from it, both individuals and bodies of men.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-18 - Here is the case of a city revolting from the God of Israel, an serving other gods. The crime is supposed to be committed by one of the cities of Israel. Even when they were ordered to preserve their religion by force, yet they were not allowed to bring others to it be fire and sword. Spiritual judgments under the Christian dispensatio are more terrible than the execution of criminals; we have not les cause than the Israelites had, to fear the Divine wrath. Let us the fear the spiritual idolatry of covetousness, and the love of worldl pleasure; and be careful not to countenance them in our families, be our example or by the education of our children. May the Lord write his law and truth in our hearts, there set up his throne, and shed abroa his love __________________________________________________________________
