The Laws of the Torah About How to Take Over a City
There is law in the Torah about how to take over a city. And they have the famous wall, right? And they march around the wall. But then almost every battle that comes after that is Canaanites pouring out of their cities to attack the Israelites. Even though Canaan is depicted like an Eden type land, humans are definitely not in a pre Eden rebellion state. So I guess you would say that the allowance for the building of cities is God's accommodation to an outside of humanity.
