Deuteronomy 24:6Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingThou shalt not take instead of a wed the lower and the higher quern-stone of thy brother, for he hath put his life to thee. See the chapter |
When thou hast besieged a city by long time, and thou hast compassed it with strongholds that thou overcome it, thou shalt not cut down the trees, of which men may eat/of which fruit may be eaten, neither thou shalt waste the country about with axes; for it is a tree, and not a man, neither it may increase the number of fighters against thee.
