Deuteronomy 7
1. All communion with the nations is forbidden
5. for fear of idolatry,
6. for the holiness of the people,
9. for the nature of God in his mercy and justice,
17. and for the assuredness of victory which God will give over them.














He will deliver their kings into your hand
This phrase emphasizes God's sovereignty and His active role in the victories of Israel. The Hebrew root for "deliver" is "נָתַן" (natan), meaning to give or hand over. This conveys the idea that God is the one granting Israel the power and authority over their enemies. Historically, this reflects the numerous instances in the Old Testament where God intervenes directly in battles, ensuring the success of His chosen people. The "kings" symbolize the leadership and power structures of the nations opposing Israel, indicating a complete and decisive victory.

and you will wipe out their names from under heaven
The phrase "wipe out their names" is a strong expression of total obliteration. In Hebrew, "מָחָה" (machah) means to blot out or erase. This signifies not just a physical defeat but the erasure of their legacy and memory. In ancient Near Eastern culture, a name represented one's identity and existence. Thus, this is a promise of thorough and lasting victory, ensuring that the enemies of Israel would not rise again to challenge them.

No one will be able to stand against you
This assurance of invincibility is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The phrase "stand against" in Hebrew is "יַצֵּב" (yatsav), which implies taking a stand or maintaining a position. The promise here is that no adversary will be able to withstand the power and presence of God with Israel. This reflects the historical accounts of Israel's conquests where, despite overwhelming odds, they emerged victorious due to divine intervention.

you will annihilate them
The term "annihilate" comes from the Hebrew "הַשְׁמִיד" (hashmid), meaning to destroy completely. This is a continuation of the theme of total victory and eradication of the enemy. It underscores the completeness of God's deliverance and the fulfillment of His promises to Israel. The historical context of this command is the conquest of Canaan, where Israel was instructed to remove all influences that could lead them away from their covenant with God. This reflects the seriousness with which God views idolatry and disobedience.

(24) He shall deliver their kings into thine hand.--In the summary of Joshua's conquest (Joshua 12) the kings are reckoned for the cities. Special mention is made of seven of them, who were hanged.

There shall no man be able to stand before thee.--A promise personally renewed to Joshua (Joshua 1:5), and fulfilled to Israel under his command (Josh. 20:44).

Verse 24. - The kings also of these nations should they utterly destroy, so that their memory should perish from the earth.
