Deuteronomy 7:22

²²He will consume these nations in thy sight by little and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether: lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee.j

Deuteronomy 7 lays out the foundational principles for Israel's interaction with the Canaanite nations upon entering the promised land. It emphasizes God's sovereign choice of Israel, not based on their merit but on His covenant love and faithfulness. The chapter commands the complete destruction of the pagan inhabitants and their idols, warning against intermarriage and any form of syncretism. This radical separation is presented as essential for Israel's spiritual purity and continued blessing, highlighting the exclusive nature of their covenant with the one true God.
