Verse meaning

This is the verse translation, not a definition of the individual word.

Then when the [four] sacred months[1] are over, kill the polytheists wherever you find them, seize them, besiege them and lie in wait for them on every route[2]. But if they repent, establish prayers and give zakah, then set them free, for Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful[3].
