Deuteronomy 7:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord's special people

7 The Lord your God will now bring you into the land that will be your home. As you go in, he will chase out seven nations that now live there. Those nations are larger and more powerful than you are. They are the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites. ² The Lord your God will put those people under your power so that you win against them. When that happens, you must destroy them completely as a gift to God. Do not make any agreement with them to keep them safe. Do not be kind to them. ³ You must not marry any of these people. Do not let your daughters marry their sons. Do not take their daughters to marry your sons.
