Deuteronomy 7:2-16

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

7“21The 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 22oathH7621 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1, 23the LordH3068 broughtH3318 you out by a mightyH2389 handH3027 and redeemedH6299 you from the houseH1004 of 24slaveryH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 9KnowH3045 therefore that the LordH3068 your GodH430, 25He is GodH430, 26the faithfulH539 GodH410, 27who keepsH8104 28His covenantH1285 and 29His lovingkindnessH2617 to a thousandthH505 generationH1755 with those who 30loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687; 10but 31repaysH7999 those who hateH8130 Him to 32their facesH6440, to destroyH6 33them; He will not delayH309 34with 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.

12“35Then it shall comeH1961 about, becauseH6118 you listenH8085 to theseH428 judgmentsH4941 and keepH8104 and doH6213 them, that the LordH3068 your GodH430 will keepH8104 with you 36His covenantH1285 and 37His lovingkindnessH2617 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1. 13He will 38loveH157 you and blessH1288 you and 39multiplyH7235 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, 40in 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 41barrenH6135 among you or among your cattleH929. 1542The 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; 43your eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 them, norH3808 shall you serveH5647 their godsH430, for that would be 44a snareH4170 to you.
