Deuteronomy 7:2-11
2and when the Lord your God turns them over to you and you 1defeat them, 2you shall 3utterly destroy them. 4You shall not make a covenant with them 5nor be gracious to them. 3Furthermore, 6you shall not intermarry with them: you shall not give your 7daughters to 8their sons, nor shall you take 9their daughters for your 10sons. 4For 11they will turn your 12sons away from 13following Me, and they will serve other gods; then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you and 14He will quickly destroy you. 5But this is what you shall do to them: 15you shall tear down their altars, smash their memorial stones, cut their 16Asherim to pieces, and burn their carved images in the fire. 6For you are 17a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be 18a people for His personal possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the 19earth.
7“20The Lord did not 21make you His beloved nor choose you because you were greater in number than any of the peoples, since you were the fewest of all peoples, 8but because the Lord loved you and kept the 22oath which He swore to your forefathers, 23the Lord brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of 24slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9Know therefore that the Lord your God, 25He is God, 26the faithful God, 27who keeps 28His covenant and 29His faithfulness to a thousand generations for those who 30love Him and keep His commandments; 10but He 31repays those who hate Him to 32their faces, to eliminate 33them; He will not hesitate toward him who hates Him, He will repay him to his face. 11Therefore, you shall keep the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them.
