And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

Verse 14 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.

Und allen Raub dieser Städte und das Vieh teilten die Kinder Israel unter sich; aber alle Menschen schlugen sie mit der Schärfe des Schwerts, bis sie die vertilgten, und ließen nichts übrigbleiben, das Odem hatte.
Y los hijos de Israel tomaron para sí todos los despojos y bestias de aquestas ciudades: pero a todos los hombres metieron a cuchillo hasta destruirlos, sin dejar alguno con vida.
Los hijos de Israel tomaron para sí todo el botín de estas ciudades y el ganado; pero hirieron a filo de espada a todas las personas hasta exterminarlas, sin dejar nada que respirara.
Les enfants d'Israël gardèrent pour eux tout le butin de ces villes et le bétail; mais ils frappèrent du tranchant de l'épée tous les hommes, jusqu'à ce qu'ils les eussent détruits, sans rien laisser de ce qui respirait.
E i figliuoli d’Israele predarono per loro tutte le spoglie di quelle città, e il bestiame; ma misero a fil di spada tutti gli uomini, finchè li ebbero sterminati; non lasciarono alcun’anima in vita
E todos os despojos destas cidades, e o gado, os filhos de Israel tomaram para si; tão-somente a todos os homens feriram ao fio da espada, até que os destruíram; nada do que tinha fôlego deixaram com vida.
從那些城鎮所奪的財物和牲畜, 以色列 人都取為自己的掠物。至於所有的人,他們都用刀殺了,直到滅盡;凡有氣息的,沒有留下一個。
