When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations ***8212; the Hittites, Girgas hites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you ***8212; and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD***8217;s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. [Deut 7:1-4]
