Souls being slain.
Joshua 10:28
Joshua 10:29-30
29Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah: 30And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword,
and all the souls that were therein; he let
none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:31-32
31And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: 32And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of
the sword, and
all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Joshua 10:34-35
34And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it: 35And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and
all the souls that were therein he
utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Joshua 10-36-37
36And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it: 37And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and
all the souls that were therein; he left
none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but
destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
38And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it: 39And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly
destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left
none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
The Israelites killed, or utterly destroyed many souls.
The Holy Spirit then
INSPIRES the definition of
SOULS in verse 40.
Joshua 10:40
40So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left
none remaining, but utterly destroyed
all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
He left no soul alive. They were defined as
ALL THAT BREATHED.
And according to Mr. Strongs the primary definition of soul is
"a breathing creature".
