have a look in the Bible for acts of genocide: Moses and Joshua's conquest of Canaan "In the defeated cities outside the Promised Land, they had to kill all the men but keep the women as slaves or concubines. Inside the Promised Land, by contrast, the conquerors were ordered to kill every single man, woman and child. All the Canaanites and Amalekites were killed. Here, the stated reason was that God wanted to prevent the coexistence of His people with Pagans, which would result in religious syncretism and the restoration of polytheism."

God wanted to prevent the coexistence of His people with Pagans, which would result in religious syncretism and the restoration of polytheism.

Joshua 1-12
