What happensPermalink
Moses reminds Israel that God is unique and His covenant with Israel is unique. He instructs them to completely destroy the nations they will conquer in Canaan.
Why it mattersPermalink
God is exclusive to Israel, so Israel must be exclusive to God. It was nothing Israel did to deserve His favor, but solely because He chose them that they are special and other nations are not.
Key versePermalink
“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”
