15. lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they whore after their mighty ones, and slaughter to their mighty ones, and one of them invites you and you eat of his slaughterings,
16. and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters whore after their mighty ones, and make your sons whore after their mighty ones.
