Deuteronomy 7
[1] 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 therein: 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.
Deuteronomy 8
[1] All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do,
that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD
sware unto your fathers.
[2] And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these
forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what
was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
[3] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna,
which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee
know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. [4] Thy raiment waxed not old upon
thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
[5] Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his
son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. [6] Therefore thou shalt keep the
commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
[7] For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of
water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; [8] A
land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land
of oil olive, and honey;
[9] A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not
lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills
thou mayest dig brass.
[10] When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God
for the good land which he hath given thee. [11] Beware that thou forget not
the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his
statutes, which I command thee this day:
[12] Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and
dwelt therein;
[13] And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold
is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; [14] Then thine heart be
lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; [15] Who led thee through that
great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and
drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the
rock of flint; [16] Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy
fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to
do thee good at thy latter end;
[17] And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath
gotten me this wealth.
[18] But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee
power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto
thy fathers, as it is this day.
[19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk
after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this
day that ye shall surely perish. [20] As the nations which the LORD destroyeth
before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto
the voice of the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 9
[1] Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess
nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to
heaven,
[2] A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest,
and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
[3] Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth
over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall
bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy
them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. [4] Speak not thou in thine
heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee,
saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land:
but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from
before thee. [5] Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine
heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these
nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may
perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob. [6] Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this
good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked
people. [7] Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to
wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land
of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the
LORD.
[8] Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry
with you to have destroyed you.
[9] When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the
tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount
forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water: [10] And
the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God;
and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with
you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
[11] And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the
LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. [12]
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy
people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves;
they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have
made them a molten image. [13] Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I
have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: [14] Let me
alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and
I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
[15] So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire:
and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. [16] And I looked,
and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a
molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had
commanded you.
[17] And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake
them before your eyes.
[18] And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty
nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins
which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to
anger.
[19] For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was
wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time
also.
[20] And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I
prayed for Aaron also the same time. [21] And I took your sin, the calf which
ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small,
even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook
that descended out of the mount.
[22] And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the
LORD to wrath.
[23] Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and
possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the
commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to
his voice.
[24] Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
[25] Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell
down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you. [26] I
prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people
and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which
thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. [27] Remember thy
servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this
people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: [28] Lest the land whence
thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into
the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought
them out to slay them in the wilderness. [29] Yet they are thy people and
thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy
stretched out arm.
