Deuteronomy 20:18The Scriptures 2009lest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their mighty ones, and you sin against יהוה your Elohim. See the chapter |
“It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you go in to possess their land, but because of the wrong of these nations that יהוה your Elohim drives them out from before you, in order to establish the word which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Ya‛aqoḇ.
