Deuteronomy 12:2-4

New Living Translation

² “When you drive out the nations that live there, you must destroy all the places where they worship their gods—high on the mountains, up on the hills, and under every green tree. ³ Break down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Burn their Asherah poles and cut down their carved idols. Completely erase the names of their gods!

⁴ “Do not worship the Lord your God in the way these pagan peoples worship their gods.
