^31 (A)And I will set your boundary from the ^[a]Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the ^[b]River; ^(B)for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will ^(C)drive them out from before you. ^32 (D)You shall cut no covenant with them ^(E)or with their gods. ^33 (F)They shall not live in your land, lest they make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, ^(G)it will surely be a snare to you.”

^12 (A)Beware lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, lest it become a snare in your midst. ^13 (B)But rather, you are to tear down their altars and shatter their sacred pillars and cut down their ^[a](C)Asherim ¹⁴ —for ^(D)you shall not worship any other god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God— ¹⁵ lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and ^(E)sacrifice to their gods, and one of them ^(F)invite you ^[b]to eat of his sacrifice, ¹⁶ and ^(G)you take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods.

³ Furthermore, ^(A)you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your ^[a]daughters to ^[b]their sons, nor shall you take ^[c]their daughters for your ^[d]sons.
