Deuteronomy 20:19

— When thou shalt be­siege a city a long time, in mak­ing war against it to take it, thou shalt not de­stroy the trees there­of by forc­ing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to em­ploy them in the siege:

…18 That they teach you not to do af­ter all their abom­i­na­tions, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God. 19 When thou shalt be­siege a city a long time, in mak­ing war against it to take it, thou shalt not de­stroy the trees there­of by forc­ing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to em­ploy them in the siege: 20 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.
