• Deut 7:2-9 : 2 and when the LORD your God delivers them over to you and you defeat them, you must devote them to complete destruction. Do not make a covenant with them or show them any mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them: do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the LORD's anger will burn against you, and He will quickly destroy you. 5 Instead, this is what you must do to them: Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, chop down their Asherah poles, and burn their carved images with fire. 6 For you are a holy people to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be His treasured possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your ancestors, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments. 10 But He repays those who hate Him to their face to destroy them. He will not delay to repay those who hate Him; He will repay them to their face. 11 Therefore, you shall keep the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances that I am giving you today to follow. 12 And it will happen that because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and obey them, the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the steadfast love that He swore to your ancestors. 13 He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land—your grain, your new wine, and your fresh oil—the young of your livestock and the calves of your herds in the land that He swore to your ancestors to give you. 14 You will be blessed above all peoples; there will be no barrenness among you, whether in men, women, or your livestock. 15 The LORD will remove all sickness from you. He will not inflict on you the terrible diseases of Egypt that you knew, but He will lay them on all who hate you. 16 You shall destroy all the nations the LORD your God is giving over to you. Do not look on them with pity, and do not serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.
