Deuteronomy 7:2-11

2and when the LordH3068 your GodH430 turnsH5414 them overH5414 to you and you 1defeatH5221 them, 2you shall 3utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them. 4You shall not makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them 5norH3808 beH2603 graciousH2603 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, and they will serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430; then the angerH639 of the LordH3068 will be kindledH2734 against you and 14He will quicklyH4118 destroyH8045 you. 5But thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall doH6213 to them: 15you shall tearH5422 downH5422 their altarsH4196, smashH7665 their memorialH4676 stonesH4676, cutH1438 their 16AsherimH842 toH1438 piecesH1438, and burnH8313 their carvedH6456 imagesH6456 in the 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 personalH5459 possessionH5459 out of allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whoH834 are on the faceH6440 of the 19earthH127.

7“20The LordH3068 did not 21makeH2836 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 22oathH7621 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1, 23the LordH3068 broughtH3318 you outH3318 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 faithfulnessH2617 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755 for those who 30loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687; 10but He 31repaysH7999 those who hateH8130 Him to 32their facesH6440, to eliminateH6 33them; 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.
