Deuteronomy 7:1-3

International Children’s Bible

God’s People

7 The Lord your God will bring you into the land. You are entering that land to own it. As you go in, he will force out these nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. These seven nations are stronger than you. ² The Lord your God will hand these nations over to you. You will defeat them. You must destroy them completely. Do not make a peace treaty with them. Do not show them any mercy. ³ Do not marry any of them. Don’t let your daughters marry their sons. And don’t let your sons marry their daughters.
