Herrens folk och de andra folken
7 När Herren, din Gud, låter dig komma in i det land dit du nu går för att ta det i besittning, och när han driver bort många hednafolk för dig, hetiterna, girgaseerna, amoreerna, kananeerna, perisseerna, hiveerna och jebusiterna, sju folk som är större och mäktigare än du, 2 och när Herren, din Gud, ger dem till dig och du slår dem, då skall du ge dem till spillo. Du skall inte sluta förbund med dem eller visa dem nåd. 3 Du skall inte ingå släktskap med dem. Dina döttrar skall du inte ge åt deras söner och inte ta deras döttrar åt dina söner. 4 Ty de kommer då att leda dina söner bort från mig till att tjäna andra gudar, och Herrens vrede skall då upptändas mot er och han skall snabbt förgöra dig. 5 Men så här skall ni göra med dem: Ni skall bryta ner deras altaren, slå sönder deras stoder, hugga ned deras aseror och bränna upp deras avgudabilder i eld. 6 Ty du är ett heligt folk inför Herren, din Gud. Dig har Herren, din Gud, utvalt att vara hans egendomsfolk framför alla andra folk på jordens yta.
7 Det var inte för att ni var större än alla andra folk som Herren fäste sig vid er och utvalde er, ni var tvärtom mindre än alla andra folk. 8 Utan det var därför att Herren älskade er och höll den ed som han hade svurit era fäder som Herren förde er ut med stark hand och befriade dig ur träldomshuset, ur den egyptiske kungens hand, ur faraos hand. 9 Så skall du veta att endast Herren, din Gud, är Gud, den trofaste Guden som håller fast vid sitt förbund och sin nåd i tusen släktled, när man älskar honom och håller hans bud. 10 Men den som hatar honom skall han vedergälla med undergång, ansikte mot ansikte. Han skall inte tveka när det gäller dem som hatar honom. Ansikte mot ansikte skall han vedergälla dem. 11 Håll därför de bud, stadgar och föreskrifter som jag i dag befaller dig att följa.
Lydnadens välsignelser
12 Om ni nu hör dessa föreskrifter och håller fast vid dem och följer dem, skall Herren, din Gud, hålla fast vid sitt förbund och sin nåd så som han med ed har lovat dina fäder. 13 Han skall älska dig och välsigna dig och föröka dig. Han skall välsigna din livsfrukt och din marks frukt, din säd, ditt nya vin och din olja, din nötboskaps avkomma och din småboskaps avel i det land som han med ed har lovat dina fäder att ge dig. 14 Du skall bli välsignad framför alla andra folk. Bland dina män och kvinnor skall ingen vara ofruktsam, ej heller bland din boskap. 15 Herren skall låta varje sjukdom vika från dig. Ingen av Egyptens alla svåra sjukdomar som du känner till skall han lägga på dig, men han skall lägga dem på alla som hatar dig. 16 Du skall förgöra alla de folk som Herren, din Gud, ger dig. Du skall inte visa dem någon skonsamhet. Och du skall inte tjäna deras gudar, ty det skulle bli en snara för dig.
17 Även om du säger i ditt hjärta: "Dessa hednafolk är större än jag, hur skall jag kunna driva bort dem?", 18 så var inte rädd för dem. Tänk endast på vad Herren, din Gud, gjorde med farao och med hela Egypten. 19 Tänk på de stora hemsökelser som dina ögon har sett. Tänk på de tecken och under, på den starka hand och uträckta arm, genom vilken Herren, din Gud, förde dig ut: Så skall Herren, din Gud, göra med alla de folk som du är rädd för. 20 Dessutom skall Herren, din Gud, sända panik bland dem, till dess att de som är kvar och håller sig gömda för dig blir utrotade. 21 Du skall inte vara förskräckt för dem, ty Herren, din Gud, är mitt ibland dig, en stor och fruktansvärd Gud. 22 Och Herren, din Gud, skall jaga i väg dessa folk för dig, undan för undan. Du får inte förgöra dem med en gång, för att inte vilddjuren på marken skall bli för många, dig till skada. 23 Herren, din Gud, skall ge dem till dig och sända stor förvirring ibland dem, till dess att de blir förgjorda. 24 Han skall ge deras kungar i din hand, och du skall utplåna deras namn under himlen. Ingen skall kunna stå dig emot, till dess att du har utrotat dem.
25 Deras avgudabilder skall du bränna upp i eld. Du skall inte ha begär till det silver och det guld som finns på dem och inte själv ta något av det, så att du blir snärjd av det, för det är avskyvärt för Herren, din Gud. 26 Du skall inte låta något avskyvärt komma in i ditt hus, så att inte också du drabbas av tillspillogivning. Du skall räkna sådant som ytterst skändligt och avskyvärt. Det är tillspillogivet.

Driving Out the Nations
7 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess(A) and drives out before you many nations(B)—the Hittites,(C) Girgashites,(D) Amorites,(E) Canaanites, Perizzites,(F) Hivites(G) and Jebusites,(H) seven nations larger and stronger than you— 2 and when the Lord your God has delivered(I) them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy(J) them totally.[a](K) Make no treaty(L) with them, and show them no mercy.(M) 3 Do not intermarry with them.(N) Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods,(O) and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy(P) you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles[b](Q) and burn their idols in the fire.(R) 6 For you are a people holy(S) to the Lord your God.(T) The Lord your God has chosen(U) you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.(V)
7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous(W) than other peoples, for you were the fewest(X) of all peoples.(Y) 8 But it was because the Lord loved(Z) you and kept the oath he swore(AA) to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand(AB) and redeemed(AC) you from the land of slavery,(AD) from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God;(AE) he is the faithful God,(AF) keeping his covenant of love(AG) to a thousand generations(AH) of those who love him and keep his commandments.(AI) 10 But
those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction;
he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.(AJ)
11 Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.
12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.(AK) 13 He will love you and bless you(AL) and increase your numbers.(AM) He will bless the fruit of your womb,(AN) the crops of your land—your grain, new wine(AO) and olive oil(AP)—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.(AQ) 14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.(AR) 15 The Lord will keep you free from every disease.(AS) He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt,(AT) but he will inflict them on all who hate you.(AU) 16 You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you.(AV) Do not look on them with pity(AW) and do not serve their gods,(AX) for that will be a snare(AY) to you.
17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?(AZ)” 18 But do not be afraid(BA) of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.(BB) 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand(BC) and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.(BD) 20 Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet(BE) among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you,(BF) is a great and awesome God.(BG) 22 The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little.(BH) You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.(BI) 24 He will give their kings(BJ) into your hand,(BK) and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you;(BL) you will destroy them.(BM) 25 The images of their gods you are to burn(BN) in the fire. Do not covet(BO) the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared(BP) by it, for it is detestable(BQ) to the Lord your God. 26 Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction.(BR) Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.

Deuteronomy 7
King James Version
7 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, 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 thou;
2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 And the Lord thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
