Deuteronomy:7:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 :
*
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 :
*
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them .
Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son ,
nor take his daughter for thy son :
*
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 .
*
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 .
