Deuteronomy 20:20

Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for *meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build *bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until 9it be subdued.

Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.

NKJV: Only the trees which you know are not trees for food you may destroy and cut down, to build siegeworks against the city that makes war with you, until it is subdued.

ESV: Only the trees that you know are not trees for food you may destroy and cut down, that you may build siegeworks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
