SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:16
Y juntarás todo el despojo de ella en medio de su plaza, y consumirás con fuego la ciudad y todo su despojo, todo ello, al SEÑOR tu Dios: y será un montón para siempre; nunca más se edificará.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And thou shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof , etc.] All the wealth and substance of the inhabitants, their household goods, shop goods, merchandise, utensils in trade and business, and everything that can be named. The Jews say f130 , if there is no street, they make one (or a marketplace); if that is without it, they bring them into the midst of it: and shall burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit ; be it what it may, or let it be whose property it will; and all this shall be done for the Lord thy God; as by his appointment and command, and in obedience to him, so for his honour and glory, and the vindication of his righteous law; and it shall be an heap for ever, it shall not be built again ; but lie a waste as Jericho, though not an entire waste; for according to the Jewish writers, though it might not be built as it was before, it might be made into gardens and orchards f131 .
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 __________________________________________________________________
