Exodus 34
10 And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.
11 Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.
13 Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
14 For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
