'Nations' in the Bible

He has done this so all the nations of the earth might recognize the Lord's power and so you might always obey the Lord your God."

You saw everything the Lord your God did to all these nations on your behalf, for the Lord your God fights for you.

See, I have parceled out to your tribes these remaining nations, from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, including all the nations I defeated.

or associate with these nations that remain near you. You must not invoke or make solemn declarations by the names of their gods! You must not worship or bow down to them!

"The Lord drove out from before you great and mighty nations; no one has been able to resist you to this very day.

But if you ever turn away and make alliances with these nations that remain near you, and intermarry with them and establish friendly relations with them,

know for certain that the Lord our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you; they will be a whip that tears your sides and thorns that blind your eyes until you disappear from this good land the Lord your God gave you.

For the Lord our God took us and our fathers out of slavery in the land of Egypt and performed these awesome miracles before our very eyes. He continually protected us as we traveled and when we passed through nations.

The Lord drove out from before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship the Lord, for he is our God!"
