⁴ You shall not do so to Yahweh your God.

²³ You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

³⁰ take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

³¹ You shall not do so to Yahweh your God: for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.

²¹ You shall not plant you an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Yahweh your God, which you shall make you.

²² Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which Yahweh your God hates.

¹⁸ that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so would you sin against Yahweh your God.
