Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deuteronomy chapter seven. When the Lord thy God shalt bring
THEE into the land, whether thou goest to possess it,
and hath cast out many nations before Thee, the Hittites
and the Gergashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and
the Perizites, and the high Vites and the Jebizites, seven

(00:20):
nations greater and mightier than thou. 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 show mercy unto them. Neither shalt thou
make marriages with them. Thy daughter, Thou shalt not give
unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto

(00:43):
thy son, 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. But thus shall he deal with them.
Ye shall destroy their altars and break down their images,
and cut down their goals, and burned their graven images

(01:04):
with fire. For thou art in 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. The Lord
did not set his love upon you, nor choose you
because ye were more in number than any people, for

(01:26):
ye were the fewest of all people. But because the
Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath
which he hath 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. Know therefore that the Lord thy God,
he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and

(01:49):
mercy with them that love him, and keep his commandments
to a thousand generations, and repayeth them that hate him
to their face to destroy them. Will not be slack
to him that hateth him. He will repay him to
his face. Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments and the
statutes and the judgments which I command THEE this day

(02:11):
to do them. 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 swear unto thy fathers,
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,

(02:34):
and thine oil, the increase of thy kind and the
flocks of thy sheep in the land, which he swear
unto thy fathers to give THEE. Thou shalt be blessed
above all people. There shall not be male or female
barren among you or among your cattle. And the Lord
will take away from THEE all sickness, and will put
none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest

(02:56):
upon THEE, but will lay them upon all them that
hate THEE. And thou shalt consume all the people which
the Lord thy God shall deliver THEE. Thine eye shall
have no pity upon them. Neither shalt thou serve their gods,
for that will be a snare unto THEE. If thou
shalt say in thine heart these nations are more than I,

(03:19):
How can I dispossess them? Thou shalt not be afraid
of them, but shalt well remember what the Lord thy
God did unto Pharaoh and unto all Egypt, the great
temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders,
and the mighty hand, and as stretched out arm, whereby
the Lord thy God brought thee out. So shall the

(03:39):
Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom
thou art afraid. Moreover, the Lord thy God will send
the hornet among them, until they that are left and
hide themselves from thee be destroyed. Thou shalt not be
affrighted at them, For the Lord thy God is among
you a mighty god and terrible. And the Lord thy

(04:00):
God will put out those nations before thee by little
and little. Thou mayst not consume them at once, lest
the beasts of the field increase upon thee. But the
Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shalt
destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed,
and he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and

(04:21):
thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven. There shall
no man be able to stand before thee until thou
have destroyed them. The graven images of their gods shall
he burn with fire. Thou shalt not desire the silver
or gold that is on them, Nor take it unto
thee lest thou be snared therein, for it is an
abomination to the Lord thy God. Neither shalt thou bring

(04:44):
an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed
thing like it. But thou shalt utterly detest it, and
thou shalt utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.
