Deuteronomy 7 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 When Yahawah () your Alahayam () shall bawaa (come) you into the aratz (Earth/land) where you bawaa (come) to yarash (possess) it, and shall nashal (cast) out many gawayam (nations) panayam (face) you, the Chathay (Hittite), and the Garagashay (Girgashite), and the Amaray (Amorite), and the Kanainay (Canaanite), and the Parazay (Perizzite), and the Chaway (Hivite), and the Yabawasay (Jebusite), shabai (seven) gawayam (nations) greater and mightier than you;

2 And when Yahawah () your Alahayam () shall nathan (give) them up panayam (face) you, and you shall nakah (strike) them; then you shall charam (utterly) charam (destroy) them: you shall karath (cut) no barayath (covenant) with them, nor show chanan (showing favor) to them;

3 Neither shall you chathan (make) marriages with them; your banath (daughter) you shall not nathan (give) to his ban (son), nor shall you laqach (take / seize) his banath (daughter) for your ban (son).

4 For he will sawar (turn) away your ban (son) from achar (other) me, that they may ibad (servant) other Alahayam (): so the ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of Yahawah () would be charah (hot with anger) against you, and he would shamad (destroy) you mahar (quickly).

5 But you shall ishah (make) with them like this: you shall shabar (break) down their mazabach (altars), and dash their matzabah (pillars) in pieces, and gadai (cut) down their Asharah (Asherim), and sharap (burn) their engraved pasayal (images) with ash (fire).

6 For you are a qadawash (holy) imayam (people) to Yahawah () your Alahayam (): Yahawah () your Alahayam () has bachar (chosen) you to be a imayam (people) for his own sagalah (possession), above all imayam (peoples) who are on the panayam (face) of the adamah (earth).

7 Yahawah () didn't set his chashaq (love) on you, nor bachar (choose) you, because you were more in number than any imayam (people); for you were the fewest of all imayam (peoples):

8 But because Yahawah () loves you, and because he would shamar (keep/guard) the shabawaih (oath) which he shabai (swear / take oath) to your ab (father), has Yahawah () yatzaa (go out / come out) you out with a chazaq (mighty) yad (hand), and padah (redeemed) you out of the bayath (house) of ibad (servant), from the yad (hand) of Paraih (Pharaoh) malak (king) of Matzarayam (Egypt).

9 Yadai (know) therefore that Yahawah () your Alahayam (), he is Alahayam (), the aman (believe / have faith) Alahayam (), who shamaray (keeps) barayath (covenant) and loving chasad (grace) with them who ahab (love) him and shamar (keep/guard) his matzawah (commandments) to a alap (thousand) dawar (generation / age / period),

10 And shalam (repays) those who shanaa (hate) him to their panayam (face), to abad (destroy / perish) them: he will not be slack to him who shanaa (hate) him, he will shalam (repay) him to his panayam (face).

11 You shall therefore shamar (keep/guard) the matzawah (commandment), and the chaqayam (statutes), and the mashapatayam (ordinances), which I tzawah (command) you this yawam (day), to ishah (make) them.

12 It shall happen, iqab (award / effect after the cause) you shamai (hearken / hear) to these mashapatayam (ordinances), and shamar (keep/guard) and ishah (make) them, that Yahawah () your Alahayam () will shamar (keep/guard) with you the barayath (covenant) and the loving chasad (grace) which he shabai (swear / take oath) to your ab (father):

13 And he will ahab (love) you, and barak (blessed) you, and rabah (multiply) you; he will also barak (blessed) the paray (fruit) of your batan (body) and the paray (fruit) of your adamah (ground), your grain and your new thayarawash (wine) and your yatzahar (fresh oil), the shagar (increase) of your livestock and the Ishatharah (young) of your tzaan (flock), in the adamah (land) which he shabai (swear / take oath) to your ab (father) to nathan (give) you.

14 You shall be barak (blessed) above all imayam (peoples): there shall not be male or female iqar (barren) among you, or among your livestock.

15 Yahawah () will sawar (take) away from you all chalay (sickness); and none of the rai (evil) madaway (diseases) of Matzarayam (Egypt), which you yadai (know), he will shawam (place / establish / appoint) on you, but will nathan (give) them on all those who shanaa (hate) you.

16 You shall akal (eat) all the imayam (peoples) whom Yahawah () your Alahayam () shall nathan (give) to you; your iyan (eye) shall not chawas (pity) them: neither shall you ibad (servant) their Alahayam (); for that will be a mawaqash (snare) to you.

17 If you shall amar (said) in your labab (heart), “These gawayam (heathen) are more than I; ayak (how) yakal (can) I yarash (dispossess) them?”

18 You shall not be yaraa (fear / be afraid) of them: you shall zakar (remember) zakar (remember) what Yahawah () your Alahayam () ishah (make) to Paraih (Pharaoh), and to all Matzarayam (Egypt);

19 The gadawal (very great/important/mighty) masath (trials) which your iyan (eye) raah (see), and the athath (signs), and the mapathayam (wonders), and the chazaq (mighty) yad (hand), and the natah (outstretched) zarawai (arm), by which Yahawah () your Alahayam () yatzaa (go out / come out) you out: so shall Yahawah () your Alahayam () ishah (make) to all the imayam (peoples) of whom you are yaraa (afraid).

20 Moreover Yahawah () your Alahayam () will shalach (send) the tzaraih (hornet) among them, until those who are shaar (left), and sathar (hide) themselves, abad (destroy / perish) from panayam (face) you.

21 You shall not be scared of them; for Yahawah () your Alahayam () is in the qarab (among / near) of you, a gadawal (very great/important/mighty) and awesome Al.

22 Yahawah () your Alahayam () will nashal (cast) out al (toward) gawayam (nations) panayam (face) you by mait (little) and mait (little): you may not kalah (complete / finish) them at mahar (once), lest the animals of the shadah (field) rabah (increase) on you.

23 But Yahawah () your Alahayam () will nathan (give) them up panayam (face) you, and will confuse them with a gadawal (very great/important/mighty) mahawamah (confusion), until they be destroyed.

24 He will nathan (give) their malak (king) into your yad (hand), and you shall make their sham (name) to abad (destroy / perish) from under the sky: no ayash (man / husband) shall be yatzab (able) to stand panayam (face) you, until you have destroyed them.

25 You shall sharap (burn) the engraved pasayalay (images) of their Alahayam () with ash (fire). You shall not chamad (covet) the kasap (silver) or the zahab (gold) that is on them, nor laqach (take / seize) it for yourself, lest you be yaqash (snared) in it; for it is an thawaibah (abomination) to Yahawah () your Alahayam ().

26 You shall not bawaa (bring) an thawaibah (abomination) into your bayath (house), and become a charam (devoted) thing like it. You shall shaqatz (utterly) shaqatz (detest) it, and you shall shaqatz (utterly) thaib (abhor) it; for it is a charam (devoted) thing.
