Moses
now recites to the children of Israel, the Lord’s requirement for obedience and
the result of disobedience, including the requirement for separation. So Moses told them when the Lord your God
shall bring you into the land of promise, having defeated all the nations that stand in
your way, you must smite them and utterly destroy them. And not make any treaty
with them. You must not marry them,
their sons or their daughters, neither shall you give your sons and your
daughters in marriage to them. For if you do they shall turn the hearts of your
sons and your daughters away from your true God, and cause them to serve other
gods, thereby incurring the wrath of your God and He destroy you suddenly. On the contrary you shall destroy their altars,
break down their images and cut down their idols, and burn all their carved
images with fire. For you are a holy people unto the Lord your God, the Lord
who has chosen you to be a special people unto himself; a people above all
people who are upon the face of all the earth.
