The Book of Deuteronomy 7

7 When Yahweh your God brings you into the land which you are going into to possess it, then he will drive out many nations from before your face—the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites—seven nations greater and mightier than you, 2 and Yahweh your God will give them before your face, and you shall strike them down, utterly destroying them. Do not cut with them a covenant, and do not show them favor. 3 And do not arrange marriages with them. Do not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son. 4 For they will turn away your son from after me, and they will serve other gods. And the nose of Yahweh will burn against you, and he will destroy you quickly. 5 Thus you shall do to them: You shall break down their altars and smash their pillars and cut their Asherah poles to pieces and burn their idols in the fire.

6 For you are a sacred nation for Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his possession, above all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.

7 Yahweh loved you and chose you, not that you were more numerous over all the nations, for you were the fewest of all the peoples, 8 but Yahweh loves you, and he kept the oath that he had sworn to your fathers. Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. 9 And you shall know that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenants and faithfulness for 1, 000 generations with those who love him and keep his commandments, 10 and he repays those who hate him to his face, to destroy him. He will not delay with him who hates him; he will repay him to his face.

11 And you shall keep the commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that I command you today, to do them. 12 And it will be, on account of you listening to these regulations and keeping and doing them, then Yahweh your God will keep for you the covenant and the faithfulness that he swore to your fathers. 13 And he will love you and bless you and multiply you. And he will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground—your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flocks, on the land that he swore to your fathers to give to you. 14 You will be blessed more than all the peoples. There will not be a barren male or a barren female among you or among your cattle. 15 And Yahweh will take away from you all sickness. And all of the evil diseases of Egypt that you have known, he will not put them on you, and he will set them on all those who hate you. 16 And you shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God will give to you; your eye shall not pity them. And do not serve their gods, for it will be a snare for you.

17 If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are more numerous than I; how can I dispossess them?’— 18 do not be afraid of them. You shall surely remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, 19 the great trials that your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which Yahweh your God brought you out. Thus Yahweh your God will do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid of their faces. 20 And also, Yahweh your God will send the hornet against them until those who are left and who hide themselves perish from your face. 21 Do not be frightened from their faces, for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and fearsome God. 22 And Yahweh your God will drive out those nations from your face little by little. You will not be able to finish them quickly, lest the animals of the field multiply against you. 23 And Yahweh your God will give them before your faces. And he will confuse them with great confusion, until they are destroyed. 24 And he will give their kings into your hand, and you will cause their name to perish from under the heavens. No man will stand before your face, until you have destroyed them. 25 You shall burn idols of their gods in fire—do not covet silver and gold on them and take it for yourself, lest you become trapped by it—for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God. 26 And do not bring an abomination to your house and become banned like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.
