Mr Argham, there are more crazy passages in Deuteronomy:
(Deut 7.1-11) When the Lord your God brings you into the land to occupy and drives out before you seven nations mightier and more numerous than you – the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and the Jubesites – you must destroy them totally. Do not intermarry with them, for that would turn your children to other gods. Break down their altars, smash their pillars, hew down their sacred poles and burn their idols. For the Lord has chosen you out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession…
(Deut 7.16) You shall destroy all the peoples that Lord your God gives over to you, showing them no pity.
(Deut 9.1-5) You are about to cross the Jordan today and dispossess nations larger than and mightier than you… The Lord goes ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy them and drive them out quickly as he promised …
(Deut 20.10-19) When you march to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept, force all the people to work for you. If they refuse to make peace, engage them in battle. Kill all the males and take the women, children, livestock and all else as booty for yourselves… In the cities the Lord your God is bequeathing you, do not leave anything that breathes alive. Destroy them completely - the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites- as the Lord has commanded you.
(Deut 21.11-13) If you notice a beautiful woman among your captives and are attracted to her, take her as your wife. Bring her into your home; shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing. After she has mourned her parents for a month, you may go to her…
If a man finds that his wife was not a virgin on first contact, the girl’s parents must provide proof of virginity by displaying 'the cloth' before the elders. If the charge is untrue, the man pays 100 shekels of silver to the girl’s father and he cannot divorce her. If the charge is true, the men of the town shall stone the girl to death. If a man rapes a virgin, she must pay 50 shekels to her father and he must marry the girl.
