4SeeH7200, 1I have apportionedH5307 to you theseH428 nationsH1471 which remainH7604 as an inheritanceH5159 for your tribesH7626, with allH3605 the nationsH1471 whichH834 I have eliminatedH3772, from the JordanH3383 even to the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 toward the 2westH3996H8121. 5And the LordH3068 your GodH430, He will thrustH1920 them awayH1920 from you and 34driveH3423 them from you; and 5you will takeH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH776, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 your GodH430 6promisedH1696 you. 67BeH2388 veryH3966 determinedH2388, then, to keepH8104 and doH6213 everythingH3605 that is writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of MosesH4872, so that you will not turnH5493 asideH5493 from it to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040, 7so that you will not 8associateH935 with theseH428 nationsH1471, theseH428 which remainH7604 with you, or 9mentionH2142 the nameH8034 of their godsH430, or 10make anyone swearH7650 by them, or 11serveH5647 them, or bowH2331 downH2331 to them. 8But you are to clingH1692 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, as you have doneH6213 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 912For the LordH3068 has 13drivenH3423 outH3423 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; and as for you, 14noH3808 oneH376 has stoodH5975 againstH6440 you to thisH2088 dayH3117. 1015OneH259 of your menH376 putsH7291 toH7291 flightH7291 a thousandH505, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 is 16He who fightsH3898 for you, justH3512 asH3512 He 17promisedH1696 you. 11So takeH8104 greatH3966 careH8104 for yourselvesH5315 that you loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430. 12For ifH518 you everH7725 goH7725 backH7725 and 18clingH1692 to the restH3499 of theseH428 nationsH1471, theseH428 which remainH7604 with you, and 19intermarryH2859 with them, so that you 20associateH935 with them and they with you, 13knowH3045 withH3045 certaintyH3045 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 will not continueH3254 to 21driveH3423 theseH428 nationsH1471 outH3423 from beforeH6440 you; but they will be a 22snareH6341 and a trapH4170 to you, and a whipH7850 on your sidesH6654 and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, untilH5704 you perishH6 from thisH2088 goodH2896 landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you.
