Deuteronomy 7:1-3

Expanded Bible

You Are God’s People

7 The Lord your God will bring you into the land that you are entering and that you will ·have as your own [possess]. As you go in, he will ·force out [clear away/out] these nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—seven nations that are stronger than you. ² The Lord your God will hand these nations over to you, and when you ·defeat [^Lstrike] them, you must ·destroy them completely [devote them to the Lord; 20:15–18; Josh. 6:17]. Do not ·make [^Lcut] a ·peace treaty [covenant] with them or show them any mercy. ³ Do not marry any of them, or let your daughters marry their sons, or let your sons marry their daughters.
