Deuteronomy 12:4

²³You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

¹⁸that they not teach you to follow all their abominations, which they have done for their gods; so would you sin against the LORD your God.

³⁰be careful that you are not ensnared to follow them after they are destroyed from before you, and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.” ³¹You shall not do so to the LORD your God; for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, they have done to their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

²¹You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the LORD your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves. ²²Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which the LORD your God hates.
