*
When Jehovah your God shall bring you into the land to which you are going ,
to possess it ,
and He casts out many nations from before you ,
the Hittites ,
and the Girgashites ,
and the Amorites ,
and the Canaanites ,
and the Perizzites ,
and the Hivites ,
and the Jebusites ,
seven nations larger and mightier than you ;
*
And when Jehovah your God shall give them up before you ,
and you strike them ,
then you shall utterly destroy them ;
you shall not cut a covenant with them ,
nor show mercy to them ;
*
nor shall you intermarry with them ;
you shall not give your daughter to his son ,
nor shall you take his daughter to your son .
*
For he will turn your son away from following Me ,
that they may serve other gods ;
and the anger of Jehovah will glow against you ,
and He will destroy you quickly .
*
But you shall deal with them in this way :
you shall break down their altars ,
and dash in pieces the cult-stones ;
and you shall cut down their pillars ;
and you will burn their carved images with fire .
*
For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God .
Jehovah your God has chosen you to be His own treasure out of all the people on the face of the earth .
*
Jehovah did not set His love on you or choose you because you were more in number than any people ,
for you were the fewest of all peoples .
*
But because Jehovah loved you ,
and because He kept the oath which He swore to your fathers ,
Jehovah has caused you to go out with a strong hand ,
and redeemed you from the house of slaves ,
from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt .
*
Because of this ,
know that Jehovah your God ,
He is God ,
the faithful God ,
keeping the covenant and mercy to those who love Him ,
and to those who keep His commands ,
to a thousand generations ;
