Deuteronomy 7:1-2
The Dispossession of Nonvassals
7:1 When the Lord your God brings you to the land that you are going to occupy and forces out many nations before you – Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and powerful than you –
7:2 and he delivers them over to you and you attack them, you must utterly annihilate them. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy!
Deuteronomy 7:16
Exhortation to Destroy Canaanite Paganism
7:16 You must destroy all the people whom the Lord your God is about to deliver over to you; you must not pity them or worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
Deuteronomy 7:23-24
7:23 The
Lord your God will give them over to you; he will throw them into a great panic
until they are destroyed.
7:24 He will hand over their kings to you and you will erase their very names from memory.
Nobody will be able to resist you until you destroy them.
Exodus 23:29-31
23:29 I will not drive them out before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild animals
multiply against you.
23:30 Little by little
I will drive them out before you, until you become fruitful and inherit the land.
23:31 I will set
your boundaries from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River,
for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
Isaiah 41:10-16
41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you!
Don’t be frightened, for I am your God!
I strengthen you –
yes, I help you –
yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand!
41:11 Look, all who were angry at you will be ashamed and humiliated;
your adversaries will be reduced to nothing and perish.
41:12 When you will look for your opponents, you will not find them;
your enemies will be reduced to absolutely nothing.
41:13 For I am the Lord your God,
the one who takes hold of your right hand,
who says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, I am helping you.’
41:14 Don’t be afraid, despised insignificant Jacob,
men of Israel.
I am helping you,” says the Lord,
your protector, the Holy One of Israel.
41:15 “Look, I am making you like a sharp threshing sledge,
new and double-edged.
You will thresh the mountains and crush them;
you will make the hills like straw.
41:16 You will winnow them and the wind will blow them away;
the wind will scatter them.
You will rejoice in the Lord;
you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.
