29 “When (A)Yahweh your God cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and inhabit their land, 30 beware lest you be ensnared [a]to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and lest you inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ 31 (B)You shall not do thus toward Yahweh your God, for every abominable act which Yahweh hates they have done for their gods; for (C)they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 “[b](D)Whatever I am commanding you, you shall be careful to do; (E)you shall not add to nor take away from it.

Beware of False Gods
29 “When (A)the Lord your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, 30 take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ 31 (B)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every [a]abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods; for (C)they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; (D)you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
