The GME saga very much seems to be a war being waged using financial tools against quite evil people.
What are the Biblical commandments towards spoils of war? When they can/cannot be taken, what’s to be done with them, should they be kept, given away, offered as sacrifice, or what?
I’ll be looking at this myself, but any finds are appreciated. Will post what I find here.
I’m wanting to distinguish between Exodus 12:36 and Joshua 7:16-26.
Depends specifically on what God says in context. It's always safe to assume the detestable things need destroyed. After a seige, which I'd say we've been in, the spoils go to the faithful whom the Lord delivered. I'd say have at it fren.
The Bible emphasizes the importance of restoring stolen property, particularly in the Old Testament. In Exodus 22:1-4, it states that if a thief is caught, they must repay what was stolen, often with additional restitution. Leviticus 6:1-5 also outlines that if someone steals, they must return the stolen item and add a fifth of its value to it. These passages highlight the principles of justice and restitution in maintaining societal order.

Fair point. “Return the diamonds” it is!
