Batman: Ah, Robin! We need to discuss Deuteronomy 7!

Robin: What is it, Batman?

Batman: Well, the Israelites have been promised the land of the Canaanites, and they must destroy the people of the land because they are wicked and idolatrous. They must not make any covenant with them or intermarry with them.

Robin: Oh, wow. That sounds pretty serious.

Joker: Ha ha ha! That's rich! You think that's serious?

Batman: Joker, why don't you stay out of this?

Joker: Okay, okay. I'm just here to observe.

Batman: As I was saying, the Israelites must show no mercy to the Canaanites. They must utterly destroy them and all their idols. They must not intermarry with them, they must not make them their gods, and they must not serve them.

Robin: That's a lot to remember, Batman.

Batman: Yes, but it's very important that they follow all of these instructions. If they do, then they will be blessed in the land. If they disobey, then they will be cursed and driven out of the land.
