Exodus 34:12-19 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. Take care, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you go, lest it become a snare in your midst.

13. You shall tear down their altars and break their pillars and cut down their Asherim

14. (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),

15. lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they whore after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and you are invited, you eat of his sacrifice,

16. and you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters whore after their gods and make your sons whore after their gods.

17. “You shall not make for yourself any gods of cast metal.

18. “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.

19. All that open the womb are mine, all your male livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep.
