¹⁰And He said: “Behold, ^qI make a covenant. Before all your people I will ^rdo ²marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is ^san awesome thing that I will do with you. ¹¹^tObserve what I command you this day. Behold, ^uI am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. ¹²^vTake heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. ¹³But you shall ^wdestroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and ^xcut down their wooden images ¹⁴(for you shall worship ^yno other god, for the Lord, whose ^zname is Jealous, is a ^ajealous God), ¹⁵lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they ^bplay the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them ^cinvites you and you ^deat of his sacrifice, ¹⁶and you take of ^ehis daughters for your sons, and his daughters ^fplay the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods.

¹⁷^g“You shall make no molded gods for yourselves.
