But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

Verse 13 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.

Doch verbrannten die Kinder Israel keine Städte, die auf Hügeln standen, sondern Hazor allein verbrannte Josua.
Empero todas las ciudades que estaban en sus cabezos, no las quemó Israel, sacando a sola Asor, la cual quemó Josué.
Pero Israel no quemó ninguna de las ciudades que estaban sobre sus montículos, con la única excepción de Hazor, que Josué quemó.
Mais Israël ne brûla aucune des villes situées sur des collines, à l'exception seulement de Hatsor, qui fut brûlée par Josué.
Solo Israele non bruciò alcuna delle città ch’erano rimaste in piè, fuor che Hasor sola, la quale Giosuè bruciò.
Tão-somente não queimaram os israelitas as cidades que estavam sobre os seus outeiros; a não ser Hazor, a qual Josué queimou.
至於造在山岡上的城鎮,除了 夏瑣 以外, 以色列 人都沒有焚燒。 約書亞 只焚燒了 夏瑣 。
