# all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand

# Whoever comes into the house, let him be killed

This did not include the temple guards and the priests. This can be stated explicitly and in active form. Alternate translation: "You must kill anyone except the temple guards and the priests who come into the temple" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# when he comes in and when he goes out
|

Possible meanings are 1) "at all times" or 2) "wherever he goes." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
