chapter 7
1
When
the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, which thou art going in
to possess, and shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and
the Gergezite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and
the Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art,
and stronger than thou:
2 And the Lord thy God shall have delivered them to
thee, thou shalt utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no league with them, nor
shew mercy to them:
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them. Thou
shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son:
4 For she will turn away thy son from following me,
that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be
kindled, and will quickly destroy thee.
5 But thus rather shall you deal with them: Destroy
their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their groves, and burn
their graven things.
6 Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God.
The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples
that are upon the earth.
7 Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the
Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any
people:
8 But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept
his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a
strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of
Pharao the king of Egypt.
9 And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a
strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him,
and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:
10 And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to
destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they
deserve.
11Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and
judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
12 If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep
and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the
mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will
bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy
vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for
which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.
14 Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall
be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.
15 The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and
the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon
thee, but upon thy enemies.
16 Thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord
thy God will deliver to thee. Thy eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou
serve their gods, lest they be thy ruin.
17 If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more
than I, how shall I be able to destroy them?
18 Fear not, but remember what the Lord thy God did to
Pharao and to all the Egyptians,
19 The exceeding great plagues, which thy eyes saw, and
the signs and wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched out arm, with
which the Lord thy God brought thee out: so will he do to all the people, whom
thou fearest.
20 Moreover the Lord thy God will send also hornets
among them, until he destroy and consume all that have escaped thee, and could
hide themselves.
21 Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God
is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible:
22 He will consume these nations in thy sight by little
and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether:
lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee.
23 But the Lord thy God shall deliver them in thy sight:
and shall slay them until they be utterly destroyed.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thy hands, and
thou shalt destroy their names from under Heaven: no man shall be able to
resist thee, until thou destroy them.
25 Their graven things thou shalt burn with fire: thou
shalt not covet the silver and gold of which they are made, neither shalt thou
take to thee any thing thereof, lest thou offend, because it is an abomination
to the Lord thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring any thing of the idol into
thy house, lest thou become an anathema, like it. Thou shalt detest it as dung,
and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because it is an anathema.
