Deuteronomy 7:2-16

2and when Jehovah thy 1God shall give them up before thee and thou shalt smite them, then shalt thou utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them.

3And thou shalt make no marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor take his daughter for thy son;

4for he will turn away thy son from following me, and they will serve other 2gods, and the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly.

5But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and hew down their Asherahs, and burn their graven images with fire.

6For a holy people art thou unto Jehovah thy 3God: Jehovah thy 4God hath chosen thee to be unto him a people for a possession, above all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

7Not because ye were more in number than all the peoples, hath Jehovah been attached to you and chosen you, for ye are the fewest of all the peoples;

8but because Jehovah loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a powerful hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9And thou shalt know that Jehovah thy 5God, he is 6God, the faithful 7God, who keepeth covenant and mercy to a thousand generations with them that love him and keep his commandments;

10and repayeth them that hate him [each] to his face, to cause them to perish: he delayeth not with him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

11And thou shalt keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.

12And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Jehovah thy 8God will keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers;

13and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn and thy new wine, and thine oil, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep, in the land which he swore unto thy fathers to give thee.

14Thou shalt be blessed above all the peoples; there shall not be male or female barren with thee, or with thy cattle;

15and Jehovah will take away from thee all sickness, and none of the evil infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

16And thou shalt consume all the peoples that Jehovah thy 9God will give up unto thee; thine eye shall not spare them, and thou shalt not serve their 10gods; for that would be a snare unto thee.
