- The text (Deuteronomy 7:2) precludes any covenant with the resident nations in Canaan—and is a reason given?
- Would Deuteronomy 7:3 and 4 indicate what that reason might be and what is the “message” in terms of family life?
- What is to be done with the worship places of these peoples?
- Why, according to Deuteronomy 7:7-8, were the Israelites “chosen”; any virtue on their part?
- Does Deuteronomy 7:9 specifically state that there is but one God?
- Once again, Deuteronomy 7:11 makes reference to the commandments and regulations which are being set down, but do they follow?
- What are the consequences (Deuteronomy 7:12 et seq) if the Israelites observe the commandments in the appropriate fashion?
- And, what is the advice and direction given if one is fearful of the nations which have to be overcome (Deuteronomy 7:17-24)?
- And, in Deuteronomy 7:25-26, what, again, is affirmed as that commandment which is of such great significance?
