5But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire.
6For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
7Yahweh didn`t set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:
8but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
10and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.
11You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.
