Deuteronomy 12:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Rip down their altars and shatter their sacred stones. Burn their sacred poles^[a] with fire. Hack their gods’ idols into pieces. Wipe out their names from that place.

⁴ Don’t act like they did toward the Lord your God!

⁵ Instead, you must search for the location the Lord your God will select from all your tribes to put his name there, as his residence, and you must go there.
