and whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, was to die — small or great alike, man or woman.
In context
11and that day they sacrificed to Yahweh from the plunder they had brought in: seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep. 12They bound themselves by covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, with their whole heart and their whole soul, 13and whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, was to die — small or great alike, man or woman. 14They swore to Yahweh at the top of their voices, with shouting, with trumpets and with rams’ horns. 15All Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart and had sought him with all their will; and he let himself be found by them, and Yahweh gave them rest on every side.
