When the
LORD
your
God brings
you
into the land that
you
are
entering
to possess, and He
drives
out before
you
many nations —
the Hittites
, Girgashites
, Amorites
, Canaanites
, Perizzites
, Hivites
, and Jebusites
, seven nations larger
and stronger
than you—
When Jehovah
thy
God shall
bring
thee
into the land whither
thou
goest
to possess it
, and shall
cast
out many nations before
thee,
the Hittite
, and
the
Girgashite
, and
the
Amorite
, and
the
Canaanite
, and
the
Perizzite
, and
the
Hivite
, and the
Jebusite
, seven nations greater
and mightier
than thou;
and when the
LORD
your
God has
delivered
them
over
to
you
to
defeat
them, then you
must
devote
them to
complete
destruction.
Make no treaty
with them and
show them
no
mercy .
and when Jehovah
thy
God shall
deliver
them up
before
thee
, and
thou
shalt
smite
them;
then thou
shalt
utterly
destroy
them :
thou
shalt
make no covenant
with them ,
nor
show mercy unto
them;
Do
not
intermarry
with them .
Do
not give your
daughters
to
their
sons
or
take
their
daughters
for
your
sons
,
neither
shalt
thou
make
marriages
with them ;
thy
daughter
thou
shalt
not give unto
his
son
, nor
his
daughter
shalt
thou
take
unto
thy
son.
because
they
will turn your
sons
away from following Me to
serve other gods .
Then
the anger of the
LORD
will
burn
against you, and He will swiftly
destroy you
.
For
he
will turn away thy
son
from following me ,
that
they
may
serve other gods :
so
will
the anger of Jehovah
be
kindled
against you, and he will destroy thee
quickly
.
Instead,
this
is
what
you
are
to
do
to
them: tear
down their altars, smash
their sacred
pillars, cut
down their Asherah
poles
, and burn their idols
in
the
fire.
But
thus
shall
ye
deal
with
them: ye
shall
break
down their altars, and
dash
in
pieces
their pillars, and
hew
down their Asherim
, and burn their graven
images
with
fire.
For you
are
a people
holy to
the
LORD
your
God .
The
LORD
your
God has
chosen you
to be a people for His prized
possession out
of
all peoples on
the face of the earth.
For thou
art
a holy people
unto
Jehovah
thy
God :
Jehovah
thy
God hath
chosen thee
to be a people for his own
possession ,
above
all peoples that
are
upon
the face of the earth.
The
LORD
did not set His affection
on
you and
choose you because you
were more numerous
than the
other
peoples,
for you
were the fewest of all peoples .
Jehovah
did not set his love
upon
you ,
nor
choose you ,
because ye
were more in
number
than any
people;
for ye
were the fewest of all peoples :
But because the
LORD
loved
you and kept
the oath He swore
to
your fathers, He
brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from
the house of slavery
, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
but because Jehovah
loveth
you ,
and because
he
would
keep
the oath which
he sware
unto
your fathers, hath
Jehovah
brought you out with a mighty hand ,
and redeemed you out
of
the house of bondage
, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Know therefore that the
LORD
your
God is God, the faithful God who keeps
His
covenant of
loving
devotion
for
a
thousand
generations
of
those
who
love Him and keep His commandments .
Know therefore that Jehovah
thy
God ,
he
is God, the faithful God ,
who keepeth
covenant and
lovingkindness
with
them
that
love him and keep his commandments to
a
thousand
generations,
But
those
who
hate Him He
repays
to their faces
with
destruction;
He will not hesitate
to repay to his face the
one
who
hates
Him
.
and
repayeth
them
that
hate him to their face,
to
destroy
them:
he will not be
slack
to him
that
hateth
him,
he
will
repay him
to his face.
So
keep the commandments
and statutes and ordinances that
I am
giving
you
to
follow
this day.
Thou
shalt
therefore
keep the commandment,
and the
statutes ,
and the
ordinances ,
which
I command
thee
this day ,
to
do
them
.
If
you
listen
to these ordinances and keep them carefully
, then
the
LORD
your
God will keep His
covenant and the loving
devotion
that
He swore
to
your
fathers .
And
it
shall
come
to pass,
because
ye
hearken
to
these ordinances ,
and keep and
do
them, that
Jehovah
thy
God will keep with
thee
the
covenant and the lovingkindness
which
he sware
unto
thy
fathers :
He will love you
and bless you
and multiply you.
He will bless the fruit of your
womb
and the produce
of your
land—your
grain
, new wine ,
and oil, the young
of your
herds
and the lambs
of your
flocks—
in the land that
He swore
to
your
fathers to give you
.
and
he will love thee,
and bless thee,
and multiply thee;
he will also
bless the fruit of thy
body
and the fruit
of thy
ground
, thy
grain
and
thy
new wine and thine
oil, the increase
of thy
cattle
and the young
of thy
flock,
in the land which
he sware
unto
thy
fathers to give thee
.
You
will
be blessed above all peoples ;
among
you
there will
be no
barren
man
or woman
or livestock
.
Thou
shalt
be blessed above all peoples :
there shall
not
be male
or female
barren
among
you,
or among
your
cattle
.
And the
LORD
will remove
from you
all sickness .
He
will
not
lay
upon
you
any
of the terrible
diseases you
knew
in
Egypt, but
He will inflict
them on
all who
hate you
.
And Jehovah
will take
away
from thee
all sickness ;
and
none
of the evil
diseases of
Egypt, which
thou
knowest,
will
he put
upon
thee,
but
will lay
them upon
all them
that
hate thee
.
You
must
destroy
all the peoples the
LORD
your
God will
deliver to
you.
Do
not look
on
them
with
pity .
Do
not
worship
their gods ,
for that will be a snare to
you
.
And
thou
shalt
consume
all the peoples that
Jehovah
thy
God shall
deliver unto
thee;
thine
eye
shall
not pity them:
neither
shalt
thou
serve
their gods ;
for that will be a snare unto
thee
.
You
may
say in your
heart, “
These nations are greater
than we
are
; how can we
drive
them out
? ”
If
thou
shalt
say in thy
heart, These nations are more
than I
; how can I
dispossess
them?
But
do
not be afraid of them .
Be
sure
to
remember what the
LORD
your
God did to
Pharaoh and all Egypt :
thou
shalt
not be afraid of them :
thou
shalt
well
remember what Jehovah
thy
God did unto
Pharaoh ,
and unto
all Egypt ;
the great trials that
you
saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by
which
the
LORD
your
God brought you
out .
The
LORD
your
God will
do the
same
to
all the peoples you
now
fear
.
the great trials which
thine
eyes
saw, and
the signs ,
and the
wonders, and the mighty hand ,
and the
outstretched arm ,
whereby
Jehovah
thy
God brought thee
out :
so
shall
Jehovah
thy
God do unto
all the peoples of
whom
thou
art
afraid
.
Moreover ,
the
LORD
your
God will send the hornet against
them until even
the
survivors
hiding
from you
have
perished
.
Moreover Jehovah
thy
God will send the hornet among
them ,
until they
that
are
left,
and
hide
themselves,
perish
from before
thee
.
Do
not be terrified
by
them ,
for the
LORD
your
God ,
who
is among
you
, is
a great and
awesome
God.
Thou
shalt
not be affrighted
at
them ;
for Jehovah
thy
God is in
the
midst
of
thee
, a great God and
a
terrible
.
The
LORD
your
God will drive
out these
nations before you
little
by little .
You
will
not be
enabled
to
eliminate
them all
at once, or
the wild
animals
would
multiply
around
you
.
And
Jehovah
thy
God will cast
out those
nations before thee
by little and
little:
thou
mayest
not consume
them at once, lest
the beasts
of
the
field
increase
upon
thee
.
But the
LORD
your
God will give
them over
to
you
and throw
them into
great confusion
, until they are
destroyed.
But Jehovah
thy
God will deliver
them up
before
thee,
and will
discomfit
them with
a
great discomfiture
, until they be
destroyed.
He will hand
their kings over
to
you
, and you
will
wipe
out
their names
from under heaven .
No one
will
be able to stand against
you;
you
will
annihilate
them.
And
he will deliver
their kings into
thy
hand
, and thou
shalt
make
their name
to
perish
from under heaven :
there
shall
no man
be able to stand before
thee,
until
thou
have
destroyed
them.
You
must
burn
up
the images of their gods ;
do
not covet the silver and
gold that is on them or
take it for
yourselves
, or
you
will
be ensnared
by
it
; for it is detestable
to the
LORD
your
God.
The graven
images of their gods shall
ye
burn
with
fire:
thou
shalt
not covet the silver or
the
gold that is on them ,
nor
take it unto
thee
, lest
thou
be snared
therein
; for it is an
abomination
to Jehovah
thy
God.
And you
must
not bring any
detestable
thing
into your
house, or
you,
like it ,
will
be
set
apart
for
destruction.
You
are
to
utterly detest and abhor it ,
because
it is set
apart
for
destruction
.
And thou
shalt
not bring an
abomination
into thy
house, and
become
a
devoted
thing
like unto
it :
thou
shalt
utterly detest it,
and thou
shalt
utterly
abhor it ;
for
it is a
devoted
thing
.
