And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 11 of Joshua. Hazor, presented as the head of those kingdoms, is captured and burned. The other cities are taken and their goods distributed, while Joshua maintains the instructions received through Moses. The explicit reference to Moses functions as a bridge between generations: Joshua is not acting autonomously, but carrying out the legal and theological framework previously received. Continued obedience is one of the criteria by which the narrator evaluates his leadership.

Dazu gewann Josua alle Städte dieser Könige mit ihren Königen und schlug sie mit der Schärfe des Schwerts und verbannte sie, wie Mose, der Knecht des HERRN, geboten hatte.
Asimismo tomó Josué todas las ciudades de aquestos reyes, y a todos los reyes de ellas, y los metió a cuchillo, y los destruyó, como Moisés siervo de Jehová lo había mandado.
Josué tomó todas las ciudades de estos reyes y a todos sus reyes, los hirió a filo de espada y los consagró por completo a la destrucción, como Moisés, siervo de Jehová, había mandado.
Josué prit aussi toutes les villes de ces rois et tous leurs rois, et il les frappa du tranchant de l'épée, et il les dévoua par interdit, comme l'avait ordonné Moïse, serviteur de l'Eternel.
Giosuè prese parimente tutte le città di quei re, e tutti i re di esse; e li mise a fil di spada, e li distrusse al modo dell’interdetto; come Mosè, servitor del Signore, avea comandato.
E Josué tomou todas as cidades destes reis, e todos os seus reis, e os feriu ao fio da espada, destruindo-os totalmente, como ordenara Moisés servo do SENHOR.
約書亞 奪了這些王的一切城鎮,擒獲了這些王,用刀殺了他們,把他們完全滅盡,正如耶和華的僕人 摩西 所吩咐的。
