Exodus 34:13-16
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[13] but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim; [14] for you shall worship no other god: for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. [15] Don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice; [16] and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.
