Deuteronomy 7:16-26 - Exhortation To Destroy Canaanite Paganism
16 Destroy all the peoples whom Jehovah your God gives you. Do not look at them with pity. Do not serve their gods. For that would be a snare to you.
17 You may say in your heart: These nations are stronger then we are, how can we throw them out of their land? 18 Do not be afraid of them. Remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and all of Egypt. 19 You saw with your own eyes the terrible plagues, the miraculous signs, and the amazing things Jehovah did. He used his mighty hand and powerful arm to bring you out. He will do the same thing to all the people who frighten you. 20 Jehovah your God will send the hornet against them. Those who are left will hide from you and perish. 21 Do not be terrified of them. Jehovah your God is with you. He is great and awesome God. 22 Jehovah your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be able to put an end to them quickly. This is because the wild beasts are too numerous (and will multiply) around you. 23 Jehovah your God will deliver them over to you. He will throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 24 He will deliver their kings into your hand. You will make their name perish from under heaven. They will not be able to stand before you for you will destroy them. 25 Burn the carved images of their gods with fire. Do not covet the silver or the gold that is on them. Do not take it for yourselves, or you will be snared by it. It is an abomination to Jehovah your God. 26 Do not bring an abomination into your house. You must utterly detest it and you must utterly abhor it, for it is something banned.
