DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 7 Israel is commanded to cast out the Hittites, the Perizzites, &c. Deuteronomy 7:1. All communion with them forbidden, Deuteronomy 7:2,3, for fear of idolatry, Deuteronomy 7:4. They must ruin the places of idolatry, Deuteronomy 7:5. The Israelites holiness and relation to God, Deuteronomy 7:6. His faithfulness to the obedient, Deuteronomy 7:9; and vengeance on them that hate him, Deuteronomy 7:10. The advantages of obedience, Deuteronomy 7:12-16. God encourages them, and promises to drive out the nations before there, Deuteronomy 7:17-24. They are commanded to destroy their images, Deuteronomy 7:25; and keep themselves clean from their cursed things, Deuteronomy 7:26. There were ten in Genesis 15:19-21; but this being some hundreds of years after that, it is not strange if three of them were either destroyed by foreign or domestic wars, or by cohabitation and marriage united with and swallowed up in some of the rest.
