Deuteronomy 7

Warnings

1“1WhenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 bringsH935 you into the landH776 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it, and clearsH5394 awayH5394 manyH7227 nationsH1471 beforeH4480H6440 you, the HittitesH2850 and the GirgashitesH1622 and the AmoritesH567 and the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 and the HivitesH2340 and the JebusitesH2983, 2sevenH7651 nationsH1471 greaterH7227 and strongerH6099 thanH4480 you, 2and when the LordH3068 your GodH430 deliversH5414 them beforeH6440 you and you 3defeatH5221 them, 4then you shall 5utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them. 6You shall makeH3772 noH3808 covenantH1285 with them 7and showH2603 noH3808 favorH2603 to them. 3Furthermore, 8you shall not intermarryH2859 with them; you shall not giveH5414 your 9daughtersH1323 to 10their sonsH1121, norH3808 shall you takeH3947 11their daughtersH1323 for your 12sonsH1121. 4For 13they will turnH5493 your 14sonsH1121 awayH5493 from 15followingH310 Me to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430; then the angerH639 of the LordH3068 will be kindledH2734 against you and 16He will quicklyH4118 destroyH8045 you. 5But thusH3541 you shall doH6213 to them: 17you shall tearH5422 downH5422 their altarsH4196, and smashH7665 their sacred pillarsH4676, and hewH1438 downH1438 their 18AsherimH842, and burnH8313 their gravenH6456 imagesH6456 with fireH784. 6For you are 19a holyH6918 peopleH5971 to the LordH3068 your GodH430; the LordH3068 your GodH430 has chosenH977 you to be 20a peopleH5971 for His 21own possessionH5459 out of allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whoH834 are on the faceH6440 of the 22earthH127.

7“23The LordH3068 did not setH2836 His loveH2836 on you norH3808 chooseH977 you becauseH3588 you were moreH7231 in numberH7231 thanH4480 anyH3605 of the peoplesH5971, for you were the fewestH4592 of allH3605 peoplesH5971, 8but becauseH3588 the LordH3068 lovedH157 you and keptH8104 the 24oathH7621 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1, 25the LordH3068 broughtH3318 you out by a mightyH2389 handH3027 and redeemedH6299 you from the houseH1004 of 26slaveryH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 9KnowH3045 therefore that the LordH3068 your GodH430, 27He is GodH430, 28the faithfulH539 GodH410, 29who keepsH8104 30His covenantH1285 and 31His lovingkindnessH2617 to a thousandthH505 generationH1755 with those who 32loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687; 10but 33repaysH7999 those who hateH8130 Him to 34their facesH6440, to destroyH6 35them; He will not delayH309 36with him who hatesH8130 Him, He will repayH7999 him to his faceH6440. 11Therefore, you shall keepH8104 the commandmentH4687 and the statutesH2706 and the judgmentsH4941 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, to doH6213 them.

Promises of God

12“37Then it shall comeH1961 about, becauseH6118 you listenH8085 to theseH428 judgmentsH4941 and keepH8104 and doH6213 them, that the LordH3068 your GodH430 will keepH8104 with you 38His covenantH1285 and 39His lovingkindnessH2617 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1. 13He will 40loveH157 you and blessH1288 you and 41multiplyH7235 you; He will also blessH1288 the fruitH6529 of your wombH990 and the fruitH6529 of your groundH127, your grainH1715 and your newH8492 wineH8492 and your oilH3323, the increaseH7698 of your herdH504 and the youngH6251 of your flockH6629, 42in the landH127 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1 to giveH5414 you. 14You shall be blessedH1288 aboveH4480 allH3605 peoplesH5971; there will be noH3808 male or female 43barrenH6135 among you or among your cattleH929. 1544The LordH3068 will removeH5493 from you allH3605 sicknessH2483; and He will not putH7760 on you anyH3605 of the harmfulH7451 diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714 whichH834 you have knownH3045, but He will layH5414 them on allH3605 who hateH8130 you. 16You shall consumeH398 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whomH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will deliverH5414 to you; 45your eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 them, norH3808 shall you serveH5647 their godsH430, for that would be 46a snareH4170 to you.

17“IfH3588 you should sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘TheseH428 nationsH1471 are greaterH7227 thanH4480 I; howH351 canH3201 I 47dispossessH3423 them?’ 18you shall not be afraidH3372 of them; you shall wellH2142 48rememberH2142 whatH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 to PharaohH6547 and to allH3605 EgyptH4714: 1949the greatH1419 trialsH4531 whichH834 your eyesH5869 sawH7200 and the signsH226 and the wondersH4159 and the mightyH2389 handH3027 and the outstretchedH5186 armH2220 by whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 broughtH3318 you out. SoH3651 shall the LordH3068 your GodH430 doH6213 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of whomH834 you are afraidH3372. 20MoreoverH1571, the LordH3068 your GodH430 will sendH7971 50the hornetH6880 against them, untilH5704 those who are leftH7604 and hideH5641 themselves from you perishH6. 21You shall not dreadH6206 51them, for 52the LordH3068 your GodH430 is in your midstH7130, 53a greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410. 2254The LordH3068 your GodH430 will clearH5394 awayH5394 theseH411 nationsH1471 beforeH4480H6440 you littleH4592 by littleH4592; you will not be ableH3201 to putH3615 an endH3615 to them quicklyH4118, for the 55wildH7704 beastsH2421 would growH7235 tooH5921 numerousH7235 for you. 2356But the LordH3068 your GodH430 will deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 you, and will 57throwH1949 them into greatH1419 confusionH4103 untilH5704 they are destroyedH8045. 2458He will deliverH5414 their kingsH4428 into your handH3027 so that you will make their nameH8034 perishH6 from underH8478 heavenH8064; 59noH3808 manH376 will be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 you untilH5704 you have destroyedH8045 them. 25The gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of their godsH430 you are to 60burnH8313 with fireH784; you shall 61not covetH2530 the silverH3701 or the goldH2091 that is on them, norH3808 takeH3947 it for yourselves, orH6435 you will be 62snaredH3369 by it, for it is an 63abominationH8441 to the LordH3068 your GodH430. 26You shall not bringH935 an abominationH8441 into your houseH1004, and likeH3644 it comeH1961 underH2764 the 64banH2764; you shall utterlyH8262 detestH8262 it and you shall utterlyH8581 abhorH8581 it, for it is somethingH2764 bannedH2764.
