Sacrifices That Have Something Wrong with Them

Put To Death People Who Worship Idols
Moses said to Israel:
2-3 (A) The Lord your God is giving you towns to live in. But later, a man or a woman in your town may start worshiping other gods, or even the sun, moon, or stars.[a] I have warned you not to worship other gods, because whoever worships them is disobeying the Lord and breaking the agreement he made with you.
