Deuteronomy 7

Revised Version 1895

1When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall bringH935 thee intoH413 the landH776 whither thou goest to possessH3423 it, and shall castH3423 outH4480 manyH7227 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 thee, the HittiteH2850, and the GirgashiteH1622, and the AmoriteH567, and the CanaaniteH3669, and the PerizziteH6522, and the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, sevenH7651 nationsH1471 greaterH7227 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 thou; 2and when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414 them upH5414 beforeH6440 thee, and thou shalt smiteH5221 them; then thou shalt utterly destroyH2763 them; thou shalt makeH5414 noH3808 covenantH1285 with them, norH3808 shew mercyH2603 unto them: 3neitherH3808 shalt thou makeH5414 marriages with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt notH3808 giveH5414 unto his sonH1121, norH3808 his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947 unto thy sonH1121. 4For he will turnH5493 awayH5493 thy sonH1121 from followingH310 meH310, that they may serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430: soH3588 will the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 againstH2734 youH3588, and he will destroyH8045 thee quicklyH4118. 5But thusH3541 shall ye dealH6213 with them; ye shall breakH7665 downH5422 their altarsH4196, and dash in piecesH7665 their pillarsH4676, and hewH1438 downH5422 their AsherimH842, and burnH8313 their gravenH6456 imagesH6456 with fireH784. 6For thou art an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 thee to be a peculiar peopleH5971 unto himselfH6440, aboveH5921 allH3605 peoplesH5971 that are uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127. 7The LORDH3068 didH3808 notH3808 set his love upon youH859, norH3808 chooseH977 youH859, becauseH3588 ye were moreH7230 in numberH7230 thanH3808 anyH3605 peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of allH3605 peoplesH5971: 8but becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 loveth youH834, and becauseH3588 he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 whichH834 he sware unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 broughtH3318 youH834 outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 youH834 outH3318 of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 9KnowH3045 therefore that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, he is GodH430; the faithfulH539 GodH430, whichH1931 keepeth covenantH1285 and mercyH3068 with them that loveH157 him and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755; 10and repayeth them that hateH8130 him to their faceH6440, to destroyH6 them: he will notH3808 be slack to him that hateth him, he will repayH7999 him to his faceH6440. 11Thou shalt therefore keepH8104 the commandmentH4687, and the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, whichH834 I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to doH6213 them. 12And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, becauseH834 ye hearken to theseH428 judgmentsH4941, and keepH8104, and doH6213 them, that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall keepH8104 with thee the covenantH1285 and the mercyH3068 whichH834 he sware unto thy fathersH1: 13and he will loveH157 thee, and blessH1288 thee, and multiplyH7235 thee: he will also blessH1288 the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990 and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, thy corn and thy wineH8492 and thine oilH3323, the increaseH7235 of thy kine and the youngH6251 of thy flockH6629, in the landH127 whichH834 he sware unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee. 14Thou shalt be blessedH1288 above allH3605 peoplesH5971: there shall notH3808 be male or female barrenH6135 among youH3605, or among your cattleH929. 15And the LORDH3068 will takeH5493 awayH5493 from thee allH3605 sicknessH2483; and he will putH5414 noneH3808 of the evilH7451 diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714, whichH834 thou knowest, uponH7760 thee, but will layH5414 them uponH7760 allH3605 them that hateH8130 thee. 16And thou shalt consumeH398 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414 unto thee; thine eyeH5869 shall notH3808 pityH2347 them: neitherH3808 shalt thou serveH5647 their godsH430; for that will be a snareH4170 unto thee. 17IfH3588 thou shalt sayH559 in thine heartH3824, TheseH428 nationsH1471 are moreH4480 thanH4480 I; howH349 canH3201 I dispossessH3423 them? 18thou shalt notH3808 be afraidH3372 of them: thou shalt wellH834 rememberH2142 whatH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 didH6213 unto PharaohH6547, and unto allH3605 EgyptH4714; 19the greatH1419 temptations whichH834 thine eyesH5869 sawH7200, and the signsH226, and the wondersH4159, and the mightyH2389 handH3027, and the stretchedH5186 outH3318 armH2220, wherebyH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH3318 thee outH3318: soH3651 shall the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 doH6213 unto allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of whomH834 thou art afraidH3373. 20MoreoverH1571 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will sendH7971 the hornetH6880 among them, untilH5704 they that are leftH7604, and hideH5641 themselves, perishH6 from beforeH6440 thee. 21Thou shalt notH3808 be affrighted at them: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is in the midstH7130 of thee, a greatH1419 GodH430 and a terrible. 22And the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will cast outH6440 thoseH5921 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 thee by littleH4592 and littleH4592: thou mayest notH3808 consumeH3615 them at once, lestH6435 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 increaseH7235 uponH5921 thee. 23But the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414 them upH5704 beforeH6440 thee, and shall discomfit them with a greatH1419 discomfiture, untilH5704 they be destroyedH8045. 24And he shall deliverH5414 their kingsH4428 intoH376 thine handH3027, and thou shalt makeH5414 their nameH8034 to perishH6 from underH8478 heavenH8064: there shall noH3808 manH376 be ableH3027 to standH3320 beforeH6440 thee, untilH5704 thou have destroyedH8045 them. 25The gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of their godsH430 shall ye burnH8313 with fireH784: thou shalt notH3808 covetH2530 the silverH3701 or the goldH2091 that is on them, norH3808 takeH3947 it unto thee, lestH6435 thou be snaredH3369 therein: for it is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: 26and thou shalt notH3808 bringH935 an abominationH8441 intoH413 thine houseH1004, and becomeH1961 a devotedH2764 thingH8441 like unto it: thou shalt utterlyH8581 detestH8262 it, and thou shalt utterlyH8581 abhorH8581 it; for it is a devotedH2764 thingH8441.
