Deuteronomy 7 - Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012(CEVUK)

Force the other nations out of the land(Exodus 34.11-16)Moses said:

1People of Israel, the LORD your God will help you take the land of the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. These seven nations have more people and are stronger than Israel, but when you attack them,The LORD

's chosen peopleMoses said:

6Israel, you are the chosen people of the LORD your God. There are many nations on this earth, but he chose only Israel to be his very own.

21So don't be frightened when you meet them in battle. The LORD your God is great and fearsome, and he will fight at your side.

22As you attack these nations, the LORD will force them out little by little. He won't let you get rid of them all at once—if he did, there wouldn't be enough people living in the land to keep down the number of wild animals.

23-24But when you attack your enemies, the LORD will make them panic, and you will easily destroy them. You will defeat them one after another until they are gone, and no one will remember they ever lived.

25After you conquer a nation, burn their idols. Don't get trapped into wanting the silver or gold on an idol. Even the metal on an idol is disgusting to the LORD,

26so destroy it. If you bring it home with you, both you and your house will be destroyed. Stay away from those disgusting idols!
