Deuteronomy 12:28-30
Lexham English Bible
28 Be careful to obey[a] all these things that I am commanding you, so that it will go well[b] for you and for your children after you forever,[c] because then you will be doing what is[d] good and right[e] in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
29 “When Yahweh your God has cut off the nations whom you are about to go to,[f] to dispossess them before you,[g] and you have dispossessed them, and you live in their land, 30 take care[h] so that you are not ensnared into imitating them[i] after their being destroyed from before you,[j] and so that you not enquire concerning their gods, saying,[k] ‘How did these nations serve their gods, and thus I myself[l] want to do also.’
