Deuteronomy 7:2-5

English Standard Version

^2 (A)and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must ^(B)devote them to complete destruction.^{[a] (C)}You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them. ^3 (D)You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, ⁴ for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. ^(E)Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you ^(F)quickly. ⁵ But thus shall you deal with them: ^(G)you shall break down their altars and dash in pieces their ^(H)pillars and chop down their ^(I)Asherim and ^(J)burn their carved images with fire.
