Confidence in Conquest

17

If you think to yourselves, 'These nations outnumber us; how can we dispossess them?'

18

nevertheless, you are not to be afraid of them; you are to remember well what ADONAI your God did to Pharaoh and all of Egypt -

19

the great ordeals which you yourself saw, and the signs, wonders, strong hand and outstretched arm by which ADONAI your God brought you out. ADONAI will do the same to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

20

Moreover, ADONAI your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and those who hide themselves perish ahead of you.

21

You are not to be frightened of them, because ADONAI your God is there with you, a God great and fearsome.

22

ADONAI your God will expel those nations ahead of you little by little; you can't put an end to them all at once, or the wild animals will become too numerous for you.

23

Nevertheless, ADONAI your God will give them over to you, sending one disaster after another upon them until they have been destroyed.

24

He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their name from under heaven; none of them will be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.

25

You are to burn up completely the carved statues of their gods. Don't be greedy for the silver or gold on them; don't take it with you, or you will be trapped by it; for it is abhorrent to ADONAI your God.

26

Don't bring something abhorrent into your house, or you will share in the curse that is on it; instead, you are to detest it completely, loathe it utterly; for it is set apart for destruction.
