For is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by you? King James Bible When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege: Holman Christian Standard Bible When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it in order to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can get food from them. You must not cut them down. Are trees of the field human, to come under siege by you? Treasury of Scripture Knowledge thou shalt not Matthew 3:10 And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: therefore every … Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, … Matthew 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing … Luke 13:7-9 Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three … John 15:2-8 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every … for the tree, etc. or, for, O man, the tree of the field is to be employed in the siege. The original is exceedingly difficult. The LXX. has it, `Is the tree in the field a man, to enter the trench before thee?' The Latin Vulgate:`For it is a tree, and not a man, neither can it increase the number of those who war against thee;' Onkelos, `For the tree of the field is not as a man, that it should come against thee in the siege;' and to the same purpose the Arabic, Philo, and Josephus who say, `If trees could speak, they would cry out, that it is unjust that they, who were no cause of the war, should suffer the miseries of it.' However rendered, the sense is sufficiently clear: and it is a merciful provision to spare all the fruit trees for the support of both the besieged and besiegers. Deuteronomy 26:6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on … to employ, etc. [heb] to go from before thee Links Deuteronomy 20:19 • Deuteronomy 20:19 NIV • Deuteronomy 20:19 NLT • Deuteronomy 20:19 ESV • Deuteronomy 20:19 NASB • Deuteronomy 20:19 KJV • Deuteronomy 20:19 Bible Apps • Deuteronomy 20:19 Biblia Paralela • Deuteronomy 20:19 Chinese Bible • Deuteronomy 20:19 French Bible • Deuteronomy 20:19 German Bible • Bible Hub |
