<t /><p class="bodytext">Then when the <sc>Lordsc> your God brings you to the land he promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give you &#8211; a land with large, fine cities you did not build,

<t /><p class="bodytext">When the <sc>Lordsc> your God brings you to the land that you are going to occupy and forces out many nations before you &#8211; Hittites,<n id="1" /> Girgashites,<n id="2" /> Amorites,<n id="3" /> Canaanites,<n id="4" /> Perizzites,<n id="5" /> Hivites,<n id="6" /> and Jebusites,<n id="7" /> seven<n id="8" /> nations more numerous and powerful than you &#8211;

When the <sc>Lordsc> your God brings you into the land you are to possess, you must pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.<n id="1" />
