Deuteronomy 7:16-26 - Exhortation To Destroy Canaanite Paganism

¹⁶ And thou didst consume all the peoples which Jehovah thy God gave to thee; thine eye shall not have pity upon them, and thou shalt not serve their gods, for it is a snare to thee.

¹⁷ When thou shalt say in thy heart, The nations many more than I, how shall I be able to dispossess them? ¹⁸ Thou shalt not be afraid of them: remembering; thou shalt remember what Jehovah thy God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. ¹⁹ The great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders;. and the strong hand and the extended arm by which Jehovah thy God brought thee out: so shall Jehovah thy God do to all people of whose face thou art afraid. ²⁰ And also the hornet, Jehovah thy God will send among you till the destroying Of those being left and of those hiding from thy face. ²¹ Thou shalt not be terrified from their faces, for Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a great and fearful God. ²² And Jehovah thy God cast out. these nations from thy face, little, little; thou shalt not be able to finish them quickly lest the beast of the field shall multiply upon thee. ²³ And Jehovah thy God sire then before thee and destroyed and discomfited them in great consternation till he destroyed them. ²⁴ And he gave their kings into thy hand, and destroy thou their name from under the heavens; and a man shall not stand before thee till thy destroying them. ²⁵ The carved thing of their gods ye shall burn in fire: thou shalt not desire the silver and gold upon them and take to thee lest thou shalt be snared by it, for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God. ²⁶ And thou shalt not bring an abomination to thy house, and thou be devoted to destruction like it: abhorring, thou shalt abhor it, and abominating, thou shalt abominate it, for it is devoted to destruction.
