Ulangan 7:2-3

7:2 and he ¹  delivers them over to you and you attack them, you must utterly annihilate ²  them. Make no treaty ³  with them and show them no mercy! 7:3 You must not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,

Yosua 23:12-13

23:12 But if you ever turn away and make alliances with ⁴  these nations that remain near you, ⁵  and intermarry with them and establish friendly relations with them, ⁶  23:13 know for certain that the Lord our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you; ⁷  they will be a whip that tears ⁸  your sides and thorns that blind ⁹  your eyes until you disappear ¹⁰  from this good land the Lord your God gave you.

[7:2]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[23:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and hug.”
