| '''V 1''' The "Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the [[Canaan]]ites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;" are all [[Canaan]]ites who are the The [[Merchants of men]].
|-
| Much of the [[Bible]] is about how to avoid their traps and [[snare]]s and [[stumblingblock]]s of those men who make the people [[merchandise]] which are the way of [[Balaam]] and the [[Nicolaitan]] they conquer the people
|- 
| Where ever the Israelites go they were to ''possess'' the land, hold [[dominion]] as individuals for their was [[no king]] in [[Israel]] which was not a geographical nation but ''a place where God prevailed''. Of course God only may prevail in the land when the people allow the God of creation to ''prevail'' in their hearts and in their mind.
|-
| Nor was [[Israel]] to be a [[commonwealth]] in the sense of having [[one purse]] except through [[free assemblies]] and [[freewill offerings]] and not a collective where contributions were enforced by someone with an [[exercise authority|exercising authority]]. They were not to even [[oppress]] the stranger living amongst them much lake their neighbor a [[merchandise|human resource]] for their [[benefits]].
|-
| The word ''[[oppress]]'' is often ''lachats''<Ref>{{03905}}</Ref> meaning ''to squeeze'' as we see in Exodus.<Ref>[[Exodus 22]]:21  Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor [[oppress]] him: for ye were strangers in the land of [[Egypt]].
: [[Exodus 23]]:9  Also thou shalt not [[oppress]] a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of [[Egypt]].</Ref>
|-
| But in other verses there are warnings about '''[[oppress]]ing the stranger'''<Ref>: [[Leviticus 19]]:33  And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
: [[Jeremiah 7]]:6  [If] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent [[blood]] in this place, neither walk after other [[gods]] to your hurt:
: [[Zechariah 7]]:10  And [[oppress]] not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
: [[Malachi 3]]:5  And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in [his] wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.</Ref> we see the Hebrew word ''ashaq''<Ref>{{06231}}</Ref>
|-
| '''V 2''' The word '''''smite''''' is from NunKafHey which is translated smite 348 times, slay 92, kill 20 times, but also beat 9, slaughter 5, stricken 3, given 3, wounded 3, strike 2, stripes 2, misc 13; . The word that appears is not NunKafHey but '''VavHey'''KafYod'''TavMem''' Vav at the beginning separates and the TavMem is Faith in action.<Ref name="smite">{{05221}}</Ref>
|-
| '''V 2'''The word ''destroy'' is not ChetReishMem<Ref name="destroy">The word often translated ''destroy'' is ChetReishMem but we see TavChetReishYodMem <Br>{{02763}}</Ref> but '''Tav'''ChetReish'''Yod'''Mem appears only in this one verse.
|-
| '''V 3''' '''Marriages'''<Ref name="marriages">{{02859}}</Ref> is not ChetTavNun חָתַן‎ chathan but is TavTavChetTavNun	תִתְחַתֵּ֖ן ṯiṯ-ḥat-tên which is about making [[CCC|contracts, covenants and constitutions]] with them in ''spirit and truth'' because of the ''[[Double_letters#Double_Tav|double Tav]]''. But on a [[family]] bases since the [[State]] was still in the hands of every [[family]] and there was [[no Kings]] to make treaties for them.
|-
| In '''verse 4''' we again see the word  '''destroy''' but not the destroy in '''verse 2''' ChetReishMem. Instead of the root word ShinMemDalet<Ref name="ShinMemDalet">{{08045}}</Ref> we see the word VavHeyShinMemYodDaletKaf  וְהִשְׁמִידְךָ֖ wə-hiš-mî-ḏə-ḵā .
|-
| In '''verse 5''' we see a word for ''destroy'' which not from ShinMemDalet<Ref name="ShinMemDalet">{{08045}}</Ref> nor ChetReishMem.<Ref name="destroy">The word often translated ''destroy'' is ChetReishMem but the word is ''nathats'' NunTavTzadik<Ref name="NunTavTzadik">{{05422}}</Ref> but in the text we see TavTavTzadikVav   תִּתֹּ֔צוּ tit-tō-ṣū, again containing the '''[[Double_letters#Double_Tav|double Tav]]''' which means to not just destroy the form but the "spirit and truth".   
|-
| '''V6''' A "holy people" is a ''separate people'' following [[the way]] of [[righteousness]].
|-
| '''V10''' Here we see another word for '''destroy''' AlefBeitDelat<Ref name="AlefBeitDelat">{{06}}</Ref> which appears as LamedHey'''AlefBeit'''Yod'''Delat'''Vav לְהַאֲבִיד֑וֹ lə-ha-’ă-ḇî-ḏōw. Cut off from the divine spark your house will ''sit in darkness''.<Ref>[[Psalms 107]]:10  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;
: [[Isaiah 42]]:7  To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
: [[Micah 7]]:8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.
: [[Luke 1]]:79  To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.</Ref>
|-
| '''V16''' To '''"serve their [[gods]]; for that will be a [[snare]]"''' that returns you to the bondage of Egypt which God "redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of [[Pharaoh]] king of [[Egypt]]"
|-
| Those other [[gods]] are the ruling [[judge]]s who decide Good and Evil for you and whom you will have to [[employ|bow down and serve]] and as bondsmen you will be a [[surety]] for debt.

1 ¶ When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to '''possess'''<Ref>The root word is YodReishShin but in this verse we see לְרִשְׁתָּ֑הּ LamedReishShinTavHey The first place we see this form appear in [[Genesis 15]]:7 when Abraham came out of Ur.<Br> {{03423}}</Ref> it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;


2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt '''smite'''<Ref name="smite">{{05221}}</Ref> them, and utterly '''destroy'''<Ref name="destroy">The word often translated ''destroy'' is ChetReishMem but we see TavChetReishYodMem <Br>{{02763}}</Ref> them; thou shalt make no [[covenant]]<Ref name="consentnot">{{consentnot}}</Ref><Ref name="makeno">{{makeno}}</Ref> with them, nor shew '''mercy'''<Ref name="mercy">{{02603}}</Ref> unto them:


3 Neither shalt thou make '''marriages'''<Ref name="marriages">{{02859}}</Ref> with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.


4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other [[gods]]: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and '''destroy'''<Ref name="ShinMemDalet">{{08045}}</Ref> thee suddenly.


5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall '''destroy'''<Ref name="NunTavTzadik">{{05422}}</Ref> their [[altars]], and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their [[graven images]] with fire.


6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.


7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:


8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and [[redemption|redeemed]] you out of the [[Bondage|house of bondmen]], from the hand of [[Pharaoh]] king of [[Egypt]].


9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that [[love]] him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;<Ref name="keep">[[John 14]]:15  If ye love me, [[keep my commandments]].
: [[John 15]]:10  If ye [[keep my commandments]], ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.</Ref>


10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to '''destroy'''<Ref name="AlefBeitDelat">{{06}}</Ref>them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
 

11 Thou shalt therefore [[keep the commandments]]<Ref name="keep"></Ref>, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.


12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep<Ref name="keep"></Ref>, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:


13 And he will [[love]] thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.


14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.


15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of [[Egypt]], which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.


16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their [[gods]]<Ref name="consentnot">{{consentnot}}</Ref><Ref name="makeno">{{makeno}}</Ref>; for that will be a [[snare]] unto thee.


17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?


18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto [[Pharaoh]], and unto all [[Egypt]];


19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.


20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet<Ref>הַצִּרְעָ֖ה  Hey'''TzadikReishAyin'''Hey<Br>[[Exodus 23]]:28  And I will send [[hornet]]s before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
: [[Joshua 24]]:12  And I sent the hornet <06880> before you, which drave them out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with thy sword,</Ref> among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.<Ref name="AlefBeitDelat">{{06}}</Ref>


21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.


22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.


23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.


24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.


25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee<Ref name="makeno">{{makeno}}</Ref>, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.


26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
