Exodus 34:11-17

Complete Jewish Bible

¹¹Observe what I am ordering you to do today. Here! I am driving out ahead of you the Emori, Kena‘ani, Hitti, P’rizi, Hivi and Y’vusi. ¹²Be careful not to make a covenant with the people living in the land where you are going, so that they won’t become a snare within your own borders. ¹³Rather, you are to demolish their altars, smash their standing-stones and cut down their sacred poles; ¹⁴because you are not to bow down to any other god; since Adonai — whose very name is Jealous — is a jealous God. ¹⁵Do not make a covenant with the people living in the land. It will cause you to go astray after their gods and sacrifice to their gods. Then they will invite you to join them in eating their sacrifices, ¹⁶and you will take their daughters as wives for your sons. Their daughters will prostitute themselves to their own gods and make your sons do the same!
