5And to the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye spare, and do not show pity.”

6Old man, young man, and virgin, and little children, and women—you shall kill them utterly. But do not come near anyone on whom is the mark, and begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the old men who were before the house.

7And he said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out.” So they went out and struck down people in the city.
