Deuturonomy 20:19

When you besiege a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them, for you shall eat of them [the fruit of the trees], and you shall not cut them down, for are the trees of the field human beings that you should besiege them?

כִּי   תָצוּר   אֶל   עִיר   יָמִים   רַבִּים   לְהִלָּחֵם   עָלֶיהָ   לְתָפְשָׂהּ   לֹא   תַשְׁחִית   אֶת   עֵצָהּ   לִנְדֹּחַ   עָלָיו   גַּרְזֶן   כִּי   מִמֶּנּוּ   תֹאכֵל   וְאֹתוֹ   לֹא   תִכְרֹת   כִּי   הָאָדָם   עֵץ   הַשָּׂדֶה   לָבֹא   מִפָּנֶיךָ   בַּמָּצוֹר  

Greek Septuagint (LXX), Read from left to right

ἐὰν δὲ περικαθίσῃς περὶ πόλιν ἡμέρας πλείους ἐκπολεμῆσαι αὐτὴν εἰς κατάλημψιν αὐτῆς οὐχὶ ἐξολεθρεύσεις τὰ δένδρα αὐτῆς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰ σίδηρον ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ αὐτὸ δὲ οὐκ ἐκκόψεις μὴ ἄνθρωπος τὸ ξύλον τὸ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ εἰσελθεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου σου εἰς τὸν χάρακα
