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.

Ver. 14. Neither left they any to breathe,] viz., Upon that air which they had so infected while they filled the land from one end to another with their uncleanness. Ezr 9:11
