Ulangan 7:16
KonteksExhortation to Destroy Canaanite Paganism
7:16 You must destroy 1 all the people whom the Lord your God is about to deliver over to you; you must not pity them or worship 2 their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
Ulangan 24:18
Konteks24:18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do all this.
Ulangan 26:18
Konteks26:18 And today the Lord has declared you to be his special people (as he already promised you) so you may keep all his commandments.
[7:16] 1 tn Heb “devour” (so NRSV); KJV, NAB, NASB “consume.” The verbal form (a perfect with vav consecutive) is understood here as having an imperatival or obligatory nuance (cf. the instructions and commands that follow). Another option is to take the statement as a continuation of the preceding conditional promises and translate “and you will destroy.”
