Deuteronomy 7:1-9

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;
