World English Bible Classic

^[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.

^[1] When the LordH3068 thy GodH430 shall bringH935(HiphImpf) thee into the landH776 whither thou goestH935(QalActPtc) to possessH3423(QalInf) it, and hath cast outH5394(QalPerf) manyH7227 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 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 sevenH7651 nationsH1471 greaterH7227 and mightierH6099 than thou; ^[2] And when the LordH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414(QalPerf) them beforeH6440 thee; thou shalt smiteH5221(HiphPerf) them, [and] utterlyH2763(HiphInf) destroyH2763(HiphImpf) them; thou shalt makeH3772(QalImpf) no covenantH1285 with them, nor shew mercyH2603(QalImpf) unto them: ^[3] Neither shalt thou make marriagesH2859(HithImpf) with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt not giveH5414(QalImpf) unto his son,H1121 nor his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947(QalImpf) unto thy son.H1121 ^[4] For they will turn awayH5493(HiphImpf) thy sonH1121 from followingH310 me, that they may serveH5647(QalPerf) otherH312 gods:H430 so will the angerH639 of the LordH3068 be kindledH2734(QalPerf) against you, and destroyH8045(HiphPerf) thee suddenly.H4118 ^[5] But thus shall ye dealH6213(QalImpf) with them; ye shall destroyH5422(QalImpf) their altars,H4196 and break downH7665(PielImpf) their images,H4676 and cut downH1438(PielImpf) their groves,H842 and burnH8313(QalImpf) their graven imagesH6456 with fire.H784 ^[6] For thou [art] an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LordH3068 thy God:H430 the LordH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977(QalPerf) thee to be a specialH5459 peopleH5971 unto himself, above all peopleH5971 that [are] upon the faceH6440 of the earth.H127 ^[7] The LordH3068 did not set his loveH2836(QalPerf) upon you, nor chooseH977(QalImpf) you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any people;H5971 for ye [were] the fewestH4592 of all people:H5971 ^[8] But because the LordH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104(QalInf) the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650(NiphPerf) unto your fathers,H1 hath the LordH3068 brought you outH3318(HiphPerf) with a mightyH2389 hand,H3027 and redeemedH6299(QalImpf) you out of the houseH1004 of bondmen,H5650 from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of Egypt.H4714 ^[9] KnowH3045(QalPerf) therefore that the LordH3068 thy God,H430 he [is] God,H430 the faithfulH539(NiphPtc) God,H410 which keepethH8104(QalActPtc) covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with them that loveH157(QalActPtc) him and keepH8104(QalActPtc) his commandmentsH4687 to a thousandH505 generations;H1755 ^[10] And repayethH7999(PielPtc) them that hateH8130(QalActPtc) him to their face,H6440 to destroyH6(HiphInf) them: he will not be slackH309(PielImpf) to him that hatethH8130(QalActPtc) him, he will repayH7999(PielImpf) him to his face.H6440 ^[11] Thou shalt therefore keepH8104(QalPerf) the commandments,H4687 and the statutes,H2706 and the judgments,H4941 which I commandH6680(PielPtc) thee this day,H3117 to doH6213(QalInf) them. ^[12] Wherefore it shall come to pass, ifH6118 ye hearkenH8085(QalImpf) to these judgments,H4941 and keep,H8104(QalPerf) and doH6213(QalPerf) them, that the LordH3068 thy GodH430 shall keepH8104(QalPerf) unto thee the covenantH1285 and the mercyH2617 which he swareH7650(NiphPerf) unto thy fathers:H1 ^[13] And he will loveH157(QalPerf) thee, and blessH1288(PielPerf) thee, and multiplyH7235(HiphPerf) thee: he will also blessH1288(PielPerf) the fruitH6529 of thy womb,H990 and the fruitH6529 of thy land,H127 thy corn,H1715 and thy wine,H8492 and thine oil,H3323 the increaseH7698 of thy kine,H504 and the flocksH6251 of thy sheep,H6629 in the landH127 which he swareH7650(NiphPerf) unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414(QalInf) thee. ^[14] Thou shalt be blessedH1288(QalPasPtc) above all people:H5971 there shall not be maleH6135 or female barrenH6135 among you, or among your cattle.H929 ^[15] And the LordH3068 will take awayH5493(HiphPerf) from thee all sickness,H2483 and will putH7760(QalImpf) none of the evilH7451 diseasesH4064 of Egypt,H4714 which thou knowest,H3045(QalPerf) upon thee; but will layH5414(QalPerf) them upon all [them] that hateH8130(QalActPtc) thee. ^[16] And thou shalt consumeH398(QalPerf) all the peopleH5971 which the LordH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414(QalActPtc) thee; thine eyeH5869 shall have no pityH2347(QalImpf) upon them: neither shalt thou serveH5647(QalImpf) their gods;H430 for that [will be] a snareH4170 unto thee. ^[17] If thou shalt sayH559(QalImpf) in thine heart,H3824 These nationsH1471 [are] moreH7227 than I; howH349 canH3201(QalImpf) I dispossessH3423(HiphInf) them?
