Exodus 34:11-16

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ “^[a]Be sure to comply with what I am commanding you this day: behold, ^(A)I am going to drive out the Amorite from you, and the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. ^12 (B)Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst. ^13 (C)But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their memorial stones, and cut down their ^[b](D)Asherim ¹⁴ —for ^(E)you shall not worship any other god, because the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God— ¹⁵ otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they would prostitute themselves with their gods and ^(F)sacrifice to their gods, and someone ^(G)might invite you ^[c]to eat of his sacrifice, ¹⁶ and ^(H)you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might prostitute themselves with their gods and cause your sons also to prostitute themselves with their gods.
