Deuteronomy 7
7:2
And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them
a
before thee; thou shalt smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make
no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
(
a) Into thy power.
7:5 But thus
shall ye deal with them;
b ye shall
destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves,
and burn their graven images with fire.
(
b) God would have his service pure without
idolatrous ceremonies and superstitions. (
Deuteronomy
12:3).
7:8 But
because the LORD
c 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.
(
c) Freely, finding no cause in you more than in
others so to do.
7:9 Know therefore
d
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;
(
d) And so put difference between him and idols.
7:10 And repayeth
e
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.
(
e) Meaning revealed, or in this life.
7:12 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
f
mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
(
f) This covenant is grounded in his free grace:
therefore in recompensing their obedience, he respects his mercy and not their
merits.
7:16
And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee;
g thine eye shall have no pity upon
them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare unto thee.
(
g) We should not be merciful when God commands
severity.
7:20
Moreover the LORD thy God will send the
h
hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be
destroyed.
(
h) There is not a creature so small, that I will
not arm it to fight on your side against them.
7:22 And the LORD thy God will
put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume
them at once, lest the
i beasts of the
field increase upon thee.
(
i) It is to your advantage that God does not
accomplish his promise as soon as you would wish.
7:25 The
graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the
silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] unto thee, lest thou
k
be snared therein: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
(
k) And be enticed to idolatry.
