9. He said, “If now I have found favour in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go amongst us, even though this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”
10. He said, “Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people amongst whom you are shall see the work of the Lord; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.
11. Observe that which I command you today. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12. Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare amongst you;
13. but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherah poles;
14. for you shall worship no other god; for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15. “Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;
16. and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.
