21Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a great God and a terrible.
22And Jehovah thy God will cast out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23But Jehovah thy God will deliver them up before thee, and will discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they be destroyed.

25The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
26And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, and become a devoted thing like unto it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

“And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, etc.] Who were very numerous, for though there were but seven nations, there were more kings, even one and thirty, (<061209>Joshua 12:9-24), thou shall destroy their name from under heaven; not only destroy the name of the reigning kings, so as that they should not be remembered and made mention of any more, but put an end to the name and race of kings among them, so that they should never have any more, as they never had: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them; the nations and their kings.”

“7:24 erase their names: An individual’s name represented that person’s existence as it would be carried into the future through generations of descendants. By destroying an entire nation, God cut off its line of descent and thus also its future. The Canaanites who suffered God’s war against them lost all their descendants and thus their existence and identity.”
