(7:1a) "When the LORD ... hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites."
God promises to cast out seven nations including the Amorites, Canaanites, and the Jebusites. But he just couldn't do it. (See
Joshua 15:63, 16:10,
17.12-13; Judges 1:21,
27, 3:1-5)
(7:1b) "Seven nations greater and mightier than thou"
These nations were "greater and mightier" than the Israelites, who
according to Exodus 12:37 and Numbers 1:45-46
already had numbered several million. So the region, according to the bible,
must have had a population of more than twenty million!
If you do show any mercy to such
strangers, "give your daughters to any of them, or "take" any of
their daughters, then you'll get God so angry that he'll "destroy thee suddenly." Will God destroy those that intermarry?
(7:2) "When the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them."
(7:3) "Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son."
(7:4) "So will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly."
(7:5) "Ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire."
Destroy the altars, images, and places of worship of those with different religions.
(7:6a) "For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God." Is only God holy?
(7:6b) "The LORD thy God hath chosen
thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people."
God prefers the Israelites to everyone
else. It's not that he's prejudiced, he just like them better.
(7:10) "Repayeth them that
hate him to their face, to destroy them."
God will kill those who hate him.
(7:14-15)
God's favorite people will never be infertile (neither will their cows!) and will never get sick. (God will
send infertility and diseases on the other guys.)
(7:14) "Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle."
(7:15) "The LORD will take away from thee all sickness ... but will lay them upon all them that hate thee."
(7:16-26)
Kill everyone that the Lord delivers to you. Show them no mercy. God will send hornets to help you with the genocide. After you have killed everyone,
destroy their religious symbols. They are abominations to God. If you bring an image into your house you will become "a cursed thing like it." Is God merciful? What the Bible says about Genocide
(7:16) "Thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; Thine eye shall have no pity upon them."
(7:20) "God will send the hornet among them ... for the LORD thy God is ... a mighty
God and terrible."
(7:23) "The LORD ... shall destroy them with a mighty
destruction, until they be destroyed."
(7:24) "Thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them."
(7:25) "The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire ... for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God."
(7:26) "Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing."
7:1When the LORD thy God
shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath
cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and
the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier
than thou;
7:2
And when the LORD thy
God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly
destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto
them:
7:3Neither shalt thou make
marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his
daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
7:4
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve
other gods: so will the
anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
7:5
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break
down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images
with fire.
7:6For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God:the LORD thy God hath chosen
thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the
face of the earth.
7:7
The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were
more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
7:8
But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which
he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty
hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh
king of Egypt.
7:9
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which
keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments
to a thousand generations;
7:10And repayeth them that
hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that
hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
7:11
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the
judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
7:12
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and
keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant
and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
7:13
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also
bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy
wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep,
in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
7:14Thou shalt be blessed
above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or
among your cattle.
7:15And the LORD will take
away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of
Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee;but will lay them upon all
them that hate thee.
7:16And thou shalt consume
all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall
have no pity upon them : neither shalt thou serve their gods; for
that will be a snare unto thee.
7:17
If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I
dispossess them?
7:18
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD
thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
7:19
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the
wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD
thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people
of whom thou art afraid.
7:20
Moreover the LORD thy God
will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide
themselves from thee, be destroyed.
7:21Thou shalt not be affrighted at them:for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty
God and terrible.
7:22
And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and
little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field
increase upon thee.
7:23But the LORD thy God
shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty
destruction, until they be destroyed.
7:24
And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their
name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee,
until thou have destroyed them.
7:25The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not
desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou
be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
7:26Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a
cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt
utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites,
and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them. 7:1-2
When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee ... thou shalt make no covenant with them.
7:1-2
Thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods:
so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.7:3-4
Thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves,
and burn their graven images with fire. 7:5
Keep his commandments to a thousand generations ... Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments,
and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 7:9-11
Thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them. 7:16
The LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. 7:20-21
Thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee,
lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 7:25b
