And thou shalt consume kol haAm which Hashem Eloheicha shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them; neither shalt thou serve eloheihem (their g-ds); for that will be a snare unto thee.
If thou shalt say in thine lev, These Goyim are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

Thou shalt not be afraid of them; but shalt well remember what Hashem Eloheicha did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Mitzrayim;
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the otot, and the mofetim, and the yad chazakah, and the stretched out zero'a, whereby Hashem Eloheicha brought thee out; so shall Hashem Eloheicha do unto kol ha'amim of whom thou art afraid.
Moreover Hashem Eloheicha will send the hornet swarm among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
Thou shalt not be afraid of them; for Hashem Eloheicha is among you, an El Gadol v'Norah.
And Hashem Eloheicha will put out those Goyim before thee m'at m'at (little by little); thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the sadeh increase upon thee.
23
וּנְתָנָ֛ם will give them over יְהוָ֥ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ SDBH your G-d לְפָנֶ֑יךָ to you וְהָמָם֙ SDBH and throw them מְהוּמָ֣ה SDBH confusion גְדֹלָ֔ה SDBH into great עַ֖ד SDBH until הִשָּׁמְדָֽם׃ SDBH they are destroyed

The peselim of eloheihem shall ye burn with eish; thou shalt not desire the kesef or zahav that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is a to'evah (abomination) to Hashem Eloheicha.
26
וְלֹא־ SDBH And you must not תָבִ֤יא SDBH bring תֽוֹעֵבָה֙ SDBH any detestable thing אֶל־ into בֵּיתֶ֔ךָ SDBH your house וְהָיִ֥יתָ or you, חֵ֖רֶם SDBH will be set apart for destruction כָּמֹ֑הוּ SDBH like it, שַׁקֵּ֧ץ׀ SDBH You are to utterly detest תְּשַׁקְּצֶ֛נּוּ SDBH . . . וְתַעֵ֥ב׀ SDBH and abhor it תְּֽתַעֲבֶ֖נּוּ SDBH . . . כִּי־ because חֵ֥רֶם SDBH is set apart for destruction הֽוּא׃פ SDBH it
