11 Observe everything that I command you this day. I myself will drive out before your face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Beware that you do not ever join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be your ruin.
13 But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves.
14 Do not be willing to worship any strange god. The jealous Lord is his name. God is a rival.
15 Do not enter into a pact with the men of those regions, lest, when they will have fornicated with their gods and worshiped their idols, someone might call upon you to eat from what was immolated.
16 Neither shall you take a wife for your son from their daughters, lest, after they themselves have fornicated, they may cause your sons also to fornicate with their gods.
17 You shall not make for yourselves any molten gods.
