Why destroy Canaan?
1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are
entering to possess and drives out before you many nations
—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites,
Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger
than you— 2 and when the LORD your God has delivered
them over to you and you have defeated them, then you
must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and
show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not
give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for
your sons, 4 for they will turn your sons away from following
me to serve other gods, and the LORD’s anger will burn
against you and will quickly destroy you. 5 This is what you
are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their
sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their
idols in the fire. 6 For you are a people holy to the LORD
your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the
peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his
treasured possession. Deuteronomy 7:1-6
