The Israelites were commanded to destroy several nations, including the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, as well as the Midianites. These commands are found in Deuteronomy 20:16–17 and Numbers 31:17. In the case of the Midianites, the Israelites were instructed to kill every man, woman, and child, except for the virgin girls, as recorded in Numbers 31. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all nations destroyed by the Israelites, but these are prominent examples in the Bible. Were these events truly commanded by God? Who was behind all this killing?”ClosedNicola asked 1 day ago • Religions19 views0 answers0 votes
