Deuteronomy 7:2
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them;
and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty (note: Forms of the Hebrew berit are translated in most passages as covenant.) with them and show them no mercy.
