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.
7 The Lord did not set His alove on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were bthe least of all peoples;
8 but abecause the Lord loves you, and because He would keep bthe oath which He swore to your fathers, cthe Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of1 bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
