Exodus 34:12-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

12. Watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst.

13. But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut down their Asherim

14. -for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God-

15. otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they would play the harlot with their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and someone might invite you to eat of his sacrifice,

16. and you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods.

17. You shall make for yourself no molten gods.

18. "You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

19. "The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the first offspring from cattle and sheep.

20. You shall redeem with a lamb the first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. None shall appear before Me empty-handed.
