THE CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP

12 “Be careful to follow these statutes and ordinances in the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors,f has given you to possess all the days you live on the earth. 2 Destroy completely all the places where the nations that you are driving out worship their godsg—on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.h 3 Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn their Asherah poles, cut down the carved images of their gods, and wipe out their names from everyD place.i
