28 “‘Only no sort of devoted thing that a man might devote to Jehovah for destruction+ out of all that is his, whether from mankind or beasts or from the field of his possession, may be sold, and no sort of devoted thing may be bought back.+ It is something most holy to Jehovah.

29 No devoted person who might be devoted to destruction* from among mankind may be redeemed.+ He should be put to death without fail.+

18 Later Jehovah sent you on a mission and said, ‘Go, and you must devote the sinners,+ the A·malʹek·ites,* to destruction, and you must fight against them until you will have exterminated them.’+
