ylt @Deuteronomy:7:1 @'When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it , and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence , the Hittite , and the Girgashite , and the Amorite , and the Canaanite , and the Perizzite , and the Hivite , and the Jebusite , seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou , ylt @Deuteronomy:7:2 @and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee , and thou hast smitten them -- thou dost utterly devote them -- thou dost not make with them a covenant , nor dost thou favour them . ylt @Deuteronomy:7:3 @'And thou dost not join in marriage with them ; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son , and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son , ylt @Deuteronomy:7:4 @for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me , and they have served other gods , and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you , and hath destroyed thee hastily . ylt @Deuteronomy:7:5 @'But thus thou dost to them : their altars ye break down , and their standing pillars ye shiver , and their shrines ye cut down , and their graven images ye burn with fire ; ylt @Deuteronomy:7:6 @for a holy people [art ] thou to Jehovah thy God ; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed , to be to Him for a peculiar people , out of all the peoples who [are ] on the face of the ground . ylt @Deuteronomy:7:7 @'Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you , and fixeth on you , for ye [are ] the least of all the peoples , ylt @Deuteronomy:7:8 @but because of Jehovah 's loving you , and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers , hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand , and doth ransom you from a house of servants , from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt . ylt @Deuteronomy:7:9 @'And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He [is ] God , the faithful God , keeping the covenant , and the kindness , to those loving Him , and to those keeping His commands -- to a thousand generations ,
