Deuteronomy 7 · Grade 4

Chosen by Grace

Name Date

Read and Think

Moses calls Israel a holy people, a treasured possession chosen out of all the peoples on the earth. Then he explains why. It was not their size; they were the fewest of all peoples. God set His love on them simply because He loved them and kept His oath to their fathers.

Moses commanded Israel to make no covenant with the nations of Canaan and to destroy their idols and altars. This was God's judgment on those nations' wickedness (9:5). Israel was also warned not to take the silver and gold from idols, because it would become a snare.

God promised to keep covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations of those who love Him. When Israel felt small, they were to remember Egypt. God is a great and awesome God among His people. He would drive out the nations little by little, so the wild animals would not grow too many.
