Deuteronomy 7 (WEBP)

[1] When Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you;
[2] and when Yahweh your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.
[3] You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
[4] For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
[5] But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.
[6] For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
[7] Yahweh didn’t set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples;
[8] but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
[9] Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
[10] and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.
[11] You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them.
[12] It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers.
[13] He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
[14] You will be blessed above all peoples. There won’t be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.
[15] Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
[16] You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you.
[17] If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”
[18] you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
[19] the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out. So shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
[20] Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
[21] You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and awesome God.
[22] Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
[23] But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed.
[24] He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.
[25] You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
[26] You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

Deuteronomy 7 (KJVS)

[1] When the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall bring H935 (8686) thee into the land H776 whither thou goest H935 (8802) to possess H3423 (8800) it, and hath cast out H5394 (8804) many H7227 nations H1471 before H6440 thee, the Hittites H2850, and the Girgashites H1622, and the Amorites H567, and the Canaanites H3669, and the Perizzites H6522, and the Hivites H2340, and the Jebusites H2983, seven H7651 nations H1471 greater H7227 and mightier H6099 than thou;
[2] And when the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall deliver H5414 (8804) them before H6440 thee; thou shalt smite H5221 (8689) them, [and] utterly H2763 (8687) destroy H2763 (8686) them; thou shalt make H3772 (8799) no covenant H1285 with them, nor shew mercy H2603 (8799) unto them:
[3] Neither shalt thou make marriages H2859 (8691) with them; thy daughter H1323 thou shalt not give H5414 (8799) unto his son H1121, nor his daughter H1323 shalt thou take H3947 (8799) unto thy son H1121.
[4] For they will turn away H5493 (8686) thy son H1121 from following H310 me, that they may serve H5647 (8804) other H312 gods H430: so will the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 be kindled H2734 (8804) against you, and destroy H8045 (8689) thee suddenly H4118.
[5] But thus shall ye deal H6213 (8799) with them; ye shall destroy H5422 (8799) their altars H4196, and break down H7665 (8762) their images H4676, and cut down H1438 (8762) their groves H842, and burn H8313 (8799) their graven images H6456 with fire H784.
[6] For thou [art] an holy H6918 people H5971 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430: the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath chosen H977 (8804) thee to be a special H5459 people H5971 unto himself, above all people H5971 that [are] upon the face H6440 of the earth H127.
[7] The LORD H3068 did not set his love H2836 (8804) upon you, nor choose H977 (8799) you, because ye were more H7230 in number than any people H5971; for ye [were] the fewest H4592 of all people H5971:
[8] But because the LORD H3068 loved H160 you, and because he would keep H8104 (8800) the oath H7621 which he had sworn H7650 (8738) unto your fathers H1, hath the LORD H3068 brought you out H3318 (8689) with a mighty H2389 hand H3027, and redeemed H6299 (8799) you out of the house H1004 of bondmen H5650, from the hand H3027 of Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714.
[9] Know H3045 (8804) therefore that the LORD H3068 thy God H430, he [is] God H430, the faithful H539 (8737) God H410, which keepeth H8104 (8802) covenant H1285 and mercy H2617 with them that love H157 (8802) him and keep H8104 (8802) his commandments H4687 to a thousand H505 generations H1755;
[10] And repayeth H7999 (8764) them that hate H8130 (8802) him to their face H6440, to destroy H6 (8687) them: he will not be slack H309 (8762) to him that hateth H8130 (8802) him, he will repay H7999 (8762) him to his face H6440.
[11] Thou shalt therefore keep H8104 (8804) the commandments H4687, and the statutes H2706, and the judgments H4941, which I command H6680 (8764) thee this day H3117, to do H6213 (8800) them.
[12] Wherefore it shall come to pass, if H6118 ye hearken H8085 (8799) to these judgments H4941, and keep H8104 (8804), and do H6213 (8804) them, that the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall keep H8104 (8804) unto thee the covenant H1285 and the mercy H2617 which he sware H7650 (8738) unto thy fathers H1:
[13] And he will love H157 (8804) thee, and bless H1288 (8765) thee, and multiply H7235 (8689) thee: he will also bless H1288 (8765) the fruit H6529 of thy womb H990, and the fruit H6529 of thy land H127, thy corn H1715, and thy wine H8492, and thine oil H3323, the increase H7698 of thy kine H504, and the flocks H6251 of thy sheep H6629, in the land H127 which he sware H7650 (8738) unto thy fathers H1 to give H5414 (8800) thee.
[14] Thou shalt be blessed H1288 (8803) above all people H5971: there shall not be male H6135 or female barren H6135 among you, or among your cattle H929.
[15] And the LORD H3068 will take away H5493 (8689) from thee all sickness H2483, and will put H7760 (8799) none of the evil H7451 diseases H4064 of Egypt H4714, which thou knowest H3045 (8804), upon thee; but will lay H5414 (8804) them upon all [them] that hate H8130 (8802) thee.
[16] And thou shalt consume H398 (8804) all the people H5971 which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall deliver H5414 (8802) thee; thine eye H5869 shall have no pity H2347 (8799) upon them: neither shalt thou serve H5647 (8799) their gods H430; for that [will be] a snare H4170 unto thee.
[17] If thou shalt say H559 (8799) in thine heart H3824, These nations H1471 [are] more H7227 than I; how H349 can H3201 (8799) I dispossess H3423 (8687) them?
[18] Thou shalt not be afraid H3372 (8799) of them: [but] shalt well H2142 (8800) remember H2142 (8799) what the LORD H3068 thy God H430 did H6213 (8804) unto Pharaoh H6547, and unto all Egypt H4714;
[19] The great H1419 temptations H4531 which thine eyes H5869 saw H7200 (8804), and the signs H226, and the wonders H4159, and the mighty H2389 hand H3027, and the stretched out H5186 (8803) arm H2220, whereby the LORD H3068 thy God H430 brought thee out H3318 (8689): so shall the LORD H3068 thy God H430 do H6213 (8799) unto all the people H5971 of whom thou art afraid H3373 H6440.
[20] Moreover the LORD H3068 thy God H430 will send H7971 (8762) the hornet H6880 among them, until they that are left H7604 (8737), and hide H5641 (8737) themselves from H6440 thee, be destroyed H6 (8800).
[21] Thou shalt not be affrighted H6206 (8799) at H6440 them: for the LORD H3068 thy God H430 [is] among H7130 you, a mighty H1419 God H410 and terrible H3372 (8737).
[22] And the LORD H3068 thy God H430 will put out H5394 (8804) those H411 nations H1471 before H6440 thee by little H4592 and little H4592: thou mayest H3201 (8799) not consume H3615 (8763) them at once H4118, lest the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 increase H7235 (8799) upon thee.
[23] But the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall deliver H5414 (8804) them unto thee H6440, and shall destroy H1949 (8804) them with a mighty H1419 destruction H4103, until they be destroyed H8045 (8736).
[24] And he shall deliver H5414 (8804) their kings H4428 into thine hand H3027, and thou shalt destroy H6 (8689) their name H8034 from under heaven H8064: there shall no man H376 be able to stand H3320 (8691) before H6440 thee, until thou have destroyed H8045 (8687) them.
[25] The graven images H6456 of their gods H430 shall ye burn H8313 (8799) with fire H784: thou shalt not desire H2530 (8799) the silver H3701 or gold H2091 [that is] on them, nor take H3947 (8804) [it] unto thee, lest thou be snared H3369 (8735) therein: for it [is] an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068 thy God H430.
[26] Neither shalt thou bring H935 (8686) an abomination H8441 into thine house H1004, lest thou be a cursed thing H2764 like it: [but] thou shalt utterly H8262 (8763) detest H8262 (8762) it, and thou shalt utterly H8581 (8763) abhor H8581 (8762) it; for it [is] a cursed thing H2764.

Young’s Literal Translation

Deuteronomy 7 (YLT)

[1] ‘When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou,
[2] and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou hast smitten them-thou dost utterly devote them-thou dost not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them.
[3] ‘And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son,
[4] for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and hath destroyed thee hastily.
[5] ‘But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut down, and their graven images ye burn with fire;
[6] for a holy people art thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the ground.
[7] ‘Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for ye are the least of all the peoples,
[8] but because of Jehovah’s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
[9] ‘And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He is God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands-to a thousand generations,
[10] and repaying to those hating Him, unto their face, to destroy them; He delayeth not to him who is hating Him-unto his face, He repayeth to him-
[11] and thou hast kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding thee to-day to do them.
[12] ‘And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,
[13] and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.
[14] ‘Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman-nor among your cattle;
[15] and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee.
[16] ‘And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou dost not serve their gods, for a snare it is to thee.
[17] ‘When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations are more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them?-
[18] thou art not afraid of them; thou dost surely remember that which Jehovah thy God hath done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt,
[19] the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.
[20] ‘And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them, till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who are hidden from thy presence;
[21] thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy God is in thy midst, a God great and fearful.
[22] ‘And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little by little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),
[23] and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them-a great destruction-till their destruction;
[24] and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.
[25] ‘The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken it to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it is;
[26] and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house-or thou hast been devoted like it;-thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it is devoted.
