1. The Lord your God will bring you into the land that you are entering and that you will have as your own. As you go in, he will force out these nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites -- seven nations that are stronger than you.
|
1. When H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall bring H935 thee into H413 the land H776 whither H834 H8033 thou H859 goest H935 to possess H3423 it , and hath cast out H5394 many H7227 nations H1471 before H4480 H6440 thee , the Hittites H2850 , and the Girgashites H1622 , and the Amorites H567 , and the Canaanites H3669 , and the Perizzites H6522 , and the Hivites H2340 , and the Jebusites H2983 , seven H7651 nations H1471 greater H7227 and mightier H6099 than H4480 thou;
|
|
2. The Lord your God will hand these nations over to you, and when you defeat them, you must destroy them completely. Do not make a peace treaty with them or show them any mercy.
|
2. And when the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall deliver H5414 them before H6440 thee ; thou shalt smite H5221 them, and utterly destroy H2763 H2763 them ; thou shalt make H3772 no H3808 covenant H1285 with them, nor H3808 show mercy H2603 unto them:
|
|
3. Do not marry any of them, or let your daughters marry their sons, or let your sons marry their daughters.
|
3. Neither H3808 shalt thou make marriages H2859 with them ; thy daughter H1323 thou shalt not H3808 give H5414 unto his son H1121 , nor H3808 his daughter H1323 shalt thou take H3947 unto thy son H1121 .
|
|
4. If you do, those people will turn your children away from me, to begin serving other gods. Then the Lord will be very angry with you, and he will quickly destroy you.
|
4. For H3588 they will turn away H5493 H853 thy son H1121 from following H4480 H310 me , that they may serve H5647 other H312 gods H430 : so will the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 be kindled H2734 against you , and destroy H8045 thee suddenly H4118 .
|
|
5. This is what you must do to those people: Tear down their altars, smash their holy stone pillars, cut down their Asherah idols, and burn their idols in the fire.
|
5. But H3588 H518 thus H3541 shall ye deal H6213 with them ; ye shall destroy H5422 their altars H4196 , and break down H7665 their images H4676 , and cut down H1438 their groves H842 , and burn H8313 their graven images H6456 with fire H784 .
|
|
6. You are holy people who belong to the Lord your God. He has chosen you from all the people on earth to be his very own.
|
6. For H3588 thou H859 art a holy H6918 people H5971 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 : the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath chosen H977 thee to be H1961 a special H5459 people H5971 unto himself , above all H4480 H3605 people H5971 that H834 are upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H127 .
|
|
7. The Lord did not care for you and choose you because there were many of you -- you are the smallest nation of all.
|
7. The LORD H3068 did not H3808 set his love H2836 upon you , nor choose H977 you , because ye were more in number H4480 H7230 than any H4480 H3605 people H5971 ; for H3588 ye H859 were the fewest H4592 of all H4480 H3605 people H5971 :
|
|
8. But the Lord chose you because he loved you, and he kept his promise to your ancestors. So he brought you out of Egypt by his great power and freed you from the land of slavery, from the power of the king of Egypt.
|
8. But H3588 because the LORD H3068 loved H4480 H160 you , and because he would keep H4480 H8104 H853 the oath H7621 which H834 he had sworn H7650 unto your fathers H1 , hath the LORD H3068 brought you out H3318 H853 with a mighty H2389 hand H3027 , and redeemed H6299 you out of the house H4480 H1004 of bondmen H5650 , from the hand H4480 H3027 of Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
9. So know that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God. He will keep his agreement of love for a thousand lifetimes for people who love him and obey his commands.
|
9. Know H3045 therefore that H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , he H1931 is God H430 , the faithful H539 God H410 , which keepeth H8104 covenant H1285 and mercy H2617 with them that love H157 him and keep H8104 his commandments H4687 to a thousand H505 generations H1755 ;
|
|
10. But he will pay back those people who hate him. He will destroy them, and he will not be slow to pay back those who hate him.
|
10. And repayeth H7999 them that hate H8130 him to H413 their face H6440 , to destroy H6 them : he will not H3808 be slack H309 to him that hateth H8130 him , he will repay H7999 him to H413 his face H6440 .
|
|
11. So be careful to obey the commands, rules, and laws I give you today.
|
11. Thou shalt therefore keep H8104 H853 the commandments H4687 , and the statutes H2706 , and the judgments H4941 , which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee this day H3117 , to do H6213 them.
|
|
12. If you pay attention to these laws and obey them carefully, the Lord your God will keep his agreement and show his love to you, as he promised your ancestors.
|
12. Wherefore it shall come to pass H1961 , if H6118 ye hearken H8085 H853 to these H428 judgments H4941 , and keep H8104 , and do H6213 them , that the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall keep H8104 unto thee H853 the covenant H1285 and the mercy H2617 which H834 he swore H7650 unto thy fathers H1 :
|
|
13. He will love and bless you. He will make the number of your people grow; he will bless you with children. He will bless your fields with good crops and will give you grain, new wine, and oil. He will bless your herds with calves and your flocks with lambs in the land he promised your ancestors he would give you.
|
13. And he will love H157 thee , and bless H1288 thee , and multiply H7235 thee : he will also bless H1288 the fruit H6529 of thy womb H990 , and the fruit H6529 of thy land H127 , thy corn H1715 , and thy wine H8492 , and thine oil H3323 , the increase H7698 of thy kine H504 , and the flocks H6251 of thy sheep H6629 , in H5921 the land H127 which H834 he swore H7650 unto thy fathers H1 to give H5414 thee.
|
|
14. You will be blessed more than any other people. Every husband and wife will have children, and all your cattle will have calves.
|
14. Thou shalt be H1961 blessed H1288 above all H4480 H3605 people H5971 : there shall not H3808 be H1961 male H6135 or female barren H6135 among you , or among your cattle H929 .
|
|
15. The Lord will take away all disease from you; you will not have the terrible diseases that were in Egypt, but he will give them to all the people who hate you.
|
15. And the LORD H3068 will take away H5493 from H4480 thee all H3605 sickness H2483 , and will put H7760 none H3605 H3808 of the evil H7451 diseases H4064 of Egypt H4714 , which H834 thou knowest H3045 , upon thee ; but will lay H5414 them upon all H3605 them that hate H130 thee.
|
|
16. You must destroy all the people the Lord your God hands over to you. Do not feel sorry for them, and do not worship their gods, or they will trap you.
|
16. And thou shalt consume H398 H853 all H3605 the people H5971 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall deliver H5414 thee ; thine eye H5869 shall have no pity H2347 H3808 upon H5921 them: neither H3808 shalt thou serve H5647 H853 their gods H430 ; for H3588 that H1931 will be a snare H4170 unto thee.
|
|
17. You might say to yourselves, "Because these nations are stronger than we are, we can't force them out."
|
17. If H3588 thou shalt say H559 in thine heart H3824 , These H428 nations H1471 are more H7227 than H4480 I; how H349 can H3201 I dispossess H3423 them?
|
|
18. But don't be afraid of them. Remember what the Lord your God did to all of Egypt and its king.
|
18. Thou shalt not H3808 be afraid H3372 of H4480 them: but shalt well remember H2142 H2142 H853 what H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 did H6213 unto Pharaoh H6547 , and unto all H3605 Egypt H4714 ;
|
|
19. You saw for yourselves the troubles, signs, and miracles he did, how the Lord's great power and strength brought you out of Egypt. The Lord your God will do the same thing to all the nations you now fear.
|
19. The great H1419 temptations H4531 which H834 thine eyes H5869 saw H7200 , and the signs H226 , and the wonders H4159 , and the mighty H2389 hand H3027 , and the stretched out H5186 arm H2220 , whereby H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 brought thee out H3318 : so H3651 shall the LORD H3068 thy God H430 do H6213 unto all H3605 the people H5971 of whom H834 thou H859 art afraid H3372 H4480 H6440 .
|
|
20. The Lord your God will also send terror among them so that even those who are alive and hiding from you will die.
|
20. Moreover H1571 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 will send H7971 H853 the hornet H6880 among them, until H5704 they that are left H7604 , and hide themselves H5641 from H4480 H6440 thee , be destroyed H6 .
|
|
21. Don't be afraid of them, because the Lord your God is with you; he is a great God and people are afraid of him.
|
21. Thou shalt not H3808 be frightened H6206 at H4480 H6440 them: for H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 is among H7130 you , a mighty H1419 God H410 and terrible H3372 .
|
|
22. When the Lord your God forces those nations out of the land, he will do it little by little ahead of you. You won't be able to destroy them all at once; otherwise, the wild animals will grow too many in number.
|
22. And the LORD H3068 thy God H430 will put out H5394 H853 those H411 nations H1471 before H4480 H6440 thee by little H4592 and little H4592 : thou mayest H3201 not H3808 consume H3615 them at once H4118 , lest H6435 the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 increase H7235 upon H5921 thee.
|
|
23. But the Lord your God will hand those nations over to you, confusing them until they are destroyed.
|
23. But the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall deliver H5414 them unto H6440 thee , and shall destroy H1949 them with a mighty H1419 destruction H4103 , until H5704 they be destroyed H8045 .
|
|
24. The Lord will help you defeat their kings, and the world will forget who they were. No one will be able to stop you; you will destroy them all.
|
24. And he shall deliver H5414 their kings H4428 into thine hand H3027 , and thou shalt destroy H6 H853 their name H8034 from under H4480 H8478 heaven H8064 : there shall no H3808 man H376 be able to stand H3320 before H6440 thee, until H5704 thou have destroyed H8045 them.
|
|
25. Burn up their idols in the fire. Do not wish for the silver and gold they have, and don't take it for yourselves, or you will be trapped by it. The Lord your God hates it.
|
25. The graven images H6456 of their gods H430 shall ye burn H8313 with fire H784 : thou shalt not H3808 desire H2530 the silver H3701 or gold H2091 that is on H5921 them , nor take H3947 it unto thee, lest H6435 thou be snared H3369 therein: for H3588 it H1931 is an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068 thy God H430 .
|
|
26. Do not bring one of those hateful things into your house, or you will be completely destroyed along with it. Hate and reject those things; they must be completely destroyed.
|
26. Neither H3808 shalt thou bring H935 an abomination H8441 into H413 thine house H1004 , lest thou be H1961 a cursed thing H2764 like it H3644 : but thou shalt utterly detest H8262 H8262 it , and thou shalt utterly abhor H8581 H8581 it; for H3588 it H1931 is a cursed thing H2764 .
