Deuteronomy 12:29-32

Expanded Bible

²⁹ You will enter the land and ·take it away from [dispossess] the nations that the Lord your God will ·destroy [^Lcut them off] ahead of you. When you ·force them out [dispossess] and live in their land, ³⁰ they will be destroyed for you, but be careful not to be ·trapped [snared] by asking about their gods. Don’t say, “How do these nations ·worship [^Lserve]? I will do the same.” ³¹ Don’t ·worship [act toward] the Lord your God that way, because the Lord hates the ·evil [detestable; abhorrent; abominable] ways they ·worship [act toward] their gods. They even burn their sons and daughters as sacrifices to their gods!

³² Be sure to do everything I have commanded you. Do not add anything to it, and do not take anything away from it.
