For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you.

You shall be perfect with the LORD your God.

For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.

The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me; to him you shall listen;

according to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horev in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.

When the LORD your God shall cut off the nations, whose land the LORD your God gives you, and you succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;

you shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.

You shall prepare you the way, and divide the borders of your land, which the LORD your God causes you to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee there.

If the LORD your God enlarge your border, as he has sworn to your fathers, and give you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;

for the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

and when the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:

but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, shall you take for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.

But of the cities of these peoples, that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;

but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amori, the Kana`ani, and the Perizzi, the Hivvi, and the Yevusi; as the LORD your God has commanded you;

that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so would you sin against the LORD your God.

If one be found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn't known who has struck him;
