Also sollst du allen Städten tun, die sehr ferne von dir liegen und nicht von den Städten dieser Völker hier sind.
Así harás a todas la ciudades que estuvieren muy lejos de ti, que no fueren de las ciudades de estas gentes.
Así harás con todas las ciudades que estén muy lejos de ti y que no sean de las ciudades de estas naciones.
C'est ainsi que tu agiras à l'égard de toutes les villes qui sont très éloignées de toi, et qui ne font point partie des villes de ces nations-ci.
Fai così a tutte le città che saranno molto lontane da te, che non saranno delle città di queste genti.
Assim farás a todas as cidades que estiverem mui longe de ti, que não forem das cidades destas nações.
離你很遠的各城,就是不屬於這些國家的城鎮,你都要這樣對待他們。
