Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:1-11

1-11 Here is a strict caution against all friendship and fellowship with idols and idolaters. Those who are in communion with God, must have no communication with the unfruitful works of darkness. Limiting the orders to destroy, to the nations here mentioned, plainly shows that after ages were not to draw this into a precedent.

No Compromise with Idolatry Deuteronomy 6:20-25 ; Deuteronomy 7:1-11 The great Lawgiver had His eye constantly on the coming generation.
