596. Destroy the seven Canaanite nations—Deuteronomy 20:17

597. Not to let any of them remain alive—Deuteronomy 20:16

598. Wipe out the descendants of Amalek—Deuteronomy 25:19

The Laws of Manu lays down the expectations for the 4 Varna (castes) in 
minute detail but doesn't suggest genocide as a way of dealing with the 
neighbors.

Marcion concluded Christianity had nothing to do with Judaism and wanted 
to pitch the entire OT. Unfortunately he got shouted down or we wouldn't 
have the current crop of Christian Zionists.
