Deuteronomy 7:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:2

A Chosen People

1 “When the Lord your God brings you into the land which you go to ^apossess, and has cast out many ^bnations before you, ^cthe 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 you,

2 and when the Lord your God delivers ^athem over to you, you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them. ^bYou shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them.

3 ^aNor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son.

4 For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; ^aso the anger of the Lord will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly.

5 But thus you shall deal with them: you shall ^adestroy their altars, and break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their¹ wooden images, and burn their carved images with fire.

6 “For you are a¹ holy people to the Lord your God; ^athe Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.
