Exodus 34:12-15
121BeH8104 carefulH8104 that you do not makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into whichH834 you are goingH935, orH6435 it will becomeH1961 a snareH4170 in your midstH7130.
132But rather, you are to tearH5422 downH5422 their altarsH4196 and smashH7665 their memorialH4676 stonesH4676, and cutH3772 downH3772 their 34AsherimH842
14--for 5you shall not worshipH2331 anyH312 otherH312 godH410, becauseH3588 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 prostituteH2181 themselves with their godsH430 and 6sacrificeH2076 to their godsH430, and someone 7might inviteH7121 you 8to eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077,
