Deuteronomy 7:1-9
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;
