Deuteronomy 7

Warnings

1“1WhenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 bringsH935 you into the landH776 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it, and He drivesH5394 awayH5394 manyH7227 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you, the HittitesH2850, the GirgashitesH1622, the AmoritesH567, the CanaanitesH3669, the PerizzitesH6522, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, 2sevenH7651 nationsH1471 greaterH7227 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 you, 2and when the LordH3068 your GodH430 turnsH5414 them overH5414 to you and you 3defeatH5221 them, 4you shall 5utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them. 6You shall not makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them 7norH3808 beH2603 graciousH2603 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, and they will serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430; then the angerH639 of the LordH3068 will be kindledH2734 against you and 16He will quicklyH4118 destroyH8045 you. 5But thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall doH6213 to them: 17you shall tearH5422 downH5422 their altarsH4196, smashH7665 their memorialH4676 stonesH4676, cutH1438 their 18AsherimH842 toH1438 piecesH1438, and burnH8313 their carvedH6456 imagesH6456 in the 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 personalH5459 possessionH5459 out of allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whoH834 are on the faceH6440 of the 21earthH127.

7“22The LordH3068 did not 23makeH2836 you His belovedH2836 norH3808 chooseH977 you becauseH3588 you wereH7231 greaterH7231 in numberH7231 thanH4480 anyH3605 of the peoplesH5971, sinceH3588 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 outH3318 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 faithfulnessH2617 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755 for those who 32loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687; 10but He 33repaysH7999 those who hateH8130 Him to 34their facesH6440, to eliminateH6 35them; He will not hesitateH309 toward him who hatesH8130 Him, He will repayH7999 him to his faceH6440. 11Therefore, you shall keepH8104 the commandmentH4687, the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, to doH6213 them.

Promises of God

12“36Then it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, becauseH6118 you listenH8085 to theseH428 judgmentsH4941 and keepH8104 and doH6213 them, that the LordH3068 your GodH430 will keepH8104 37His covenantH1285 with you and 38His faithfulnessH2617 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1. 13And He will 39loveH157 you, blessH1288 you, and 40makeH7235 you numerousH7235; He will also blessH1288 the fruitH6529 of your wombH990 and the fruitH6529 of your groundH127, your grainH1715, your newH8492 wineH8492, and your oilH3323, the newbornH7698 of your cattleH504 and the offspringH6251 of your flockH6629, 41in the landH127 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1 to giveH5414 you. 14You shall be blessedH1288 aboveH4480 allH3605 peoplesH5971; there will be noH3808 sterileH6135 maleH6135 or 42infertileH6135 femaleH6135 among you or among your cattleH929. 15And 43the LordH3068 will removeH5493 from you allH3605 sicknessH2483; and He will not inflictH7760 upon you anyH3605 of the harmfulH7451 diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714 whichH834 you have knownH3045, but He will giveH5414 them to allH3605 who hateH8130 you. 16You shall consumeH398 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whomH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will turnH5414 overH5414 to you; 44your eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 them, norH3808 shall you serveH5647 their godsH430, for that would be 45a snareH4170 to you.

17“IfH3588 you sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘TheseH428 nationsH1471 are greaterH7227 thanH4480 I; howH351 canH3201 I 46dispossessH3423 them?’ 18you are not to beH3372 afraidH3372 of them; you shall 47rememberH2142 wellH2142 whatH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 to PharaohH6547 and to allH3605 EgyptH4714: 1948the 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 outH3318. The LordH3068 your GodH430 will doH6213 the sameH3651 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of whomH834 you areH3372 afraidH3372. 20IndeedH1571, the LordH3068 your GodH430 will sendH7971 49the hornetH6880 against them, untilH5704 those who are leftH7604 and hideH5641 themselves from you perishH6. 21You are not to be terrifiedH6206 of them, becauseH3588 50the LordH3068 your GodH430 is in your midstH7130, 51a greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410. 2252And the LordH3068 your GodH430 will driveH5394 awayH5394 theseH411 nationsH1471 from you littleH4592 by littleH4592; you will not beH3201 ableH3201 to putH3615 anH3615 endH3615 toH3615 them quicklyH4118, otherwiseH6435 the 53wildH7704 animalsH2421 would becomeH7235 tooH5921 numerousH7235 for you. 2354But the LordH3068 your GodH430 will turnH5414 them overH5414 to you, and will 55throwH1949 them into greatH1419 confusionH4103 untilH5704 they are destroyedH8045. 2456And He will handH3027H5414 overH5414 their kingsH4428 to you, so that you will eliminateH6 their nameH8034 from underH8478 heavenH8064; 57noH3808 oneH376 will be able to standH3320 againstH6440 you untilH5704 you have destroyedH8045 them. 25The carvedH6456 imagesH6456 of their godsH430 you are to 58burnH8313 with fireH784; you shall 59not covetH2530 the silverH3701 or the goldH2091 that is on them, norH3808 takeH3947 it for yourselves, orH6435 you will be 60trappedH3369 by it; for it is an 61abominationH8441 to the LordH3068 your GodH430. 26And you shall not bringH935 an abominationH8441 into your houseH1004 and becomeH1961 62designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764, likeH3644 it; you are to utterlyH8262 detestH8262 it, and you are to utterlyH8581 loatheH8581 it, for it is somethingH2764 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764.
