You must serve me with integrity and sincerity, just as your father David did. Do everything I commanded and obey my rules and regulations.<n id="1" />

It is not because of your righteousness, or even your inner uprightness,<n id="1" /> that you have come here to possess their land. Instead, because of the wickedness of these nations the <sc>Lordsc> your God is driving them out ahead of you in order to confirm the promise he<n id="2" /> made on oath to your ancestors,<n id="3" /> to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
