The Israelites said to the Hivites,“ But perhaps you live near us, so how can we make a treaty with you?”

The Israelites said to the Hivites,“ But suppose you live close to us. If you do, we can’t make a peace treaty with you.”

But the men of Israel said to the Hivites,“ Perhaps you live among us; then how can we make a covenant with you?”

The Israelites replied to these Hivites,“ How do we know you don’t live nearby? For if you do, we cannot make a treaty with you.”

The men of Israel replied to the Hivites,“ Perhaps you live among us. How can we make a treaty with you?”

But the men of Israel said to the Hivites,“ Perhaps you are living within our land; how then are we to make a covenant with you?”

And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you?

The men of Israel replied to the Hivites,“ Perhaps you live among us. How can we make a treaty with you?”

The men of Israel said to the Hivites,“ Perhaps you live near us. So how can we make a treaty with you?”

The men of Israel said to the Hivites,“ What if you live among us? How could we make a covenant with you?”

There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle.

And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?

and when the Lord your God delivers them over to you, you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them.Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son.

So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places;

And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and violated her.

Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.

And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon— the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite— heard about it,

“ But of the cities of these peoples which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive,

And I will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
