Deuteronomy 7:16-26 - Exhortation To Destroy Canaanite Paganism
16 And thou shall consume all the peoples that LORD thy God shall deliver to thee. Thine eye shall not pity them. Neither shall thou serve their gods, for that will be a snare to thee.
17 If thou shall say in thy heart, These nations are more than I. How can I dispossess them? 18 Thou shall not be afraid of them. Thou shall remember well what LORD 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 mighty hand, and the outstretched arm by which LORD thy God brought thee out. So shall LORD thy God do to all the peoples of whom thou are afraid. 20 Moreover LORD thy God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and hide themselves perish from before thee. 21 Thou shall not be frightened at them, for LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a great God and awesome. 22 And LORD thy God will cast out those nations before thee little by little. Thou may not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. 23 But LORD thy God will deliver them up before thee, and will discomfit them with a great confusion until they be destroyed. 24 And he will deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shall make their name to perish from under heaven. There shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. 25 Ye shall burn the graven images of their gods with fire. Thou shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it to thee, lest thou be snared by it, for it is an abomination to LORD thy God. 26 And thou shall not bring an abomination into thy house, and become a devoted thing like it. Thou shall utterly detest it, and thou shall utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.
