Study Note
The instruction to 'smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them' applies the cherem (total devotion/destruction) principle to the Canaanite nations, commanding complete separation rather than partial incorporation. Deuteronomy 7:3-4 immediately explains the rationale: intermarriage would lead to idolatry, which would provoke divine wrath — the prohibition is not ethnic but theological, protecting covenant integrity. The scholarly discussion of the cherem command involves whether it was literally enacted, idealised retrospectively, or primarily a theological boundary-marker — texts like Judges 1-2 show partial rather than total implementation. Paul's 'come out from among them' (2 Corinthians 6:17) and the Johannine 'love not the world' (1 John 2:15) apply the same separationist logic in non-violent metaphorical terms to the new-covenant community's relationship with idolatrous culture.

And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:
