05:006:024 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear
the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive,
as it is at this day.
05:006:025 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all
these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
05:007:001 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;
05:007:002 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:
05:007:003 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.
05:007:004 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.
05:007:005 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.
05:007:006 For 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.
05:007:007 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:
05:007:008 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.
05:007:009 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;
05:007:010 And 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.
05:007:011 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the
statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
05:007:012 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:
05:007:013 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.
