12. Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant or mutual agreement with the inhabitants of the land to which you go, lest it become a snare in the midst of you.
13. But you shall destroy their altars, dash in pieces their pillars (obelisks, images), and cut down their Asherim [symbols of the goddess Asherah];
14. For you shall worship no other god; for the Lord, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous (impassioned) God,
15. Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they play the harlot after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and one invites you, you eat of his food sacrificed to idols,
16. And you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters play the harlot after their gods and make your sons play the harlot after their gods.
17. You shall make for yourselves no molten gods.
18. The Feast of Unleavened Bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
19. All the males that first open the womb among your livestock are Mine, whether ox or sheep.
