Deuteronomy 7:2-5

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.
