And therefore commanded us to do
all these ordinances and for to fear the LORD our God, for our
wealth always and that he might save us, as it is come to pass
this day. Moreover it shall be righteousness unto us before the
LORD our God, if we take heed to keep all these commandments as he
hath commanded us.
Chapter .vij.
When the LORD thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou
goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee:
the Hethites, the Girgosites, the Amorites, the Cananites, the
Pheresites, the Hevites and the Iebusites. Seven nations more in
number and mightier than thou: and when the LORD thy God hath set
them before thee that thou shouldest smite them, see that thou
utterly destroy them and make no covenant with them nor have
compassion on them. Also thou shalt make no marriages with them,
neither give thy daughter unto his son nor take his daughter unto
thy son. For they will make your sons depart from me and serve
strange gods, and then will the wrath of the LORD wax hot upon you
and destroy you shortly. But thus ye shall deal with them:
overthrow their altars, break down their pillars, cut down their
groves and burn their images with fire. For thou art an holy
nation unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to
be a several people unto himself of all nations that are upon the
earth.
