  "However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them — the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites — as the Lord your God has commanded you."
Deuteronomy 20:16-17

That's a quote of something God said several thousand years ago. It's not urging people today to go out and slay Hittites. Assuming you could find any Hittites.

It's hard to calculate how many have been sold bit here. The Bible is the most widely sold/circulated book. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/best-sell...
