For¹ they will turn awayª°¹ thy sonª from followingª¹ me, that they may serveª° otherª gods:ª so will the angerª of the LORDª be kindledª° against you, and destroyª° thee suddenly.ª" {Deu 7:3-4} + "Else¹ if¹ ye do in any wise²° go back,ª° and cleaveª° unto the remnantª of these¹ nations,ª [even] these¹ that remainª° among¹ you, and shall make marriagesª° with them, and go inª° unto them, and they¹ to you: ... Know²° for a certaintyª° that¹ the LORDª your Godª will no¹ moreª° drive outª° [any of]¹ these¹ nationsª from beforeª¹ you; but they shall be¹ snaresª and trapsª unto you, and scourgesª in your sides,ª and thorns²¹ in your eyes,ª until¹ ye perishª° from off¹¹ this¹ goodª landª which¹ the LORDª your Godª hath givenª° you." {Jsh 23:12-13} + "Now when these things¹ were done,ª° the princesª cameª° to¹ me, saying,ª° The peopleª of Israel,ª and the priests,ª and the Levites,ª have not¹ separated²° themselves¹ from the peopleª¹ of the lands,ª [doing] according to their abominations,ª [even] of the Canaanites,ª the Hittites,ª the Perizzites,ª the Jebusites,ª the Ammonites,ª the Moabites,ª the Egyptians,ª and the Amorites.ª ...
