Only the trees which thou knowest that they [be] not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
Only the trees {H6086} which thou knowest {H3045} that they be not trees {H6086} for meat {H3978}, thou shalt destroy {H7843} and cut them down {H3772}; and thou shalt build {H1129} bulwarks {H4692} against the city {H5892} that maketh {H6213} war {H4421} with thee, until it be subdued {H3381}.
However, if you know that certain trees provide no food, you may destroy them and cut them down, in order to build siege-works against the town making war with you, until it falls.
But you may destroy the trees that you know do not produce fruit. Use them to build siege works against the city that is waging war against you, until it falls.
Only the trees of which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall.
