Idolaters Killed

⁵ And to _h the others he said in my hearing, "Pass through the city after him, and strike. _i Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. ⁶ _j Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but _k touch no one on whom is the mark. And _l begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the house. ⁷ Then he said to them, _m "Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out." So they went out and struck in the city.
