Exodus 34:13-16

131But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut down their 23Asherim

14--for 4you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God--

15otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they would play the harlot with their gods and 5sacrifice to their gods, and someone 6might invite you 7to eat of his sacrifice,

16and 8you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods.
