Exodus 34
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.
15 Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
