The Israelites were to have no mercy for those the Lord gave over to them. No treaties, no intermarrying, etc. Destroy the trappings of their false worship.
God would bless them more than other people and keep them free of disease and barrenness if they paid attention to His laws and took care to follow them. Deuteronomy 7:15 says that they would not be inflicted with the horrible diseases they knew in Egypt. I'm unsure if this refers to horrible diseases they saw in Egypt or experienced personally in Egypt.
