Exodus 34:10-17

10Then 1God saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 2I am going to makeH3772 a covenantH1285. BeforeH5048 allH3605 your peopleH5971 3I will performH6213 miraclesH6381 whichH834 have not been 4producedH1254 in allH3605 the earthH776 norH3808 among anyH3605 of the nationsH1471; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 5amongH7130 whomH834 you live will seeH7200 the workingH4639 of the LordH3068, for it is a fearfulH3372 thingH3372 that I am going to performH6213 with you.

11“6Be sure to observeH8104 whatH834 I am commandingH6680 you this dayH3117: beholdH2009, 7I am going to driveH1644 out the AmoriteH567 beforeH4480H6440 you, and the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983. 128WatchH8104 yourself that you makeH3772 noH6435 covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into whichH834 you are goingH935, orH6435 it will becomeH1961 a snareH4170 in your midstH7130. 139But rather, you are to tearH5422 downH5422 their altarsH4196 and smashH7665 their sacred pillarsH4676 and cutH3772 downH3772 their 1011AsherimH842 14--for 12you shall not worshipH7812 anyH312 otherH312 godH410, for the LordH3068, whose nameH8034 is JealousH7067, is a jealousH7067 GodH410-- 15otherwiseH6435 you mightH6435 makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 and they would playH2181 the harlotH2181 with their godsH430 and 13sacrificeH2076 to their godsH430, and someone 14might inviteH7121 you 15to eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077, 16and 16you might takeH3947 someH4480 of his daughtersH1323 for your sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323 might playH2181 the harlotH2181 with their godsH430 and cause your sonsH1121 also to playH2181 the harlotH2181 with their godsH430. 1717You shall makeH6213 for yourself noH3808 moltenH4541 godsH430.
