Deuteronomy 12:30-
31 Take heed to thyself
that thou be not snared
by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. ...
Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every
abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Deuteronomy 16:21-
22 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. ... Neither shalt thou set thee up [
any]
image;
which the LORD thy God hateth.
Deuteronomy 20:18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
Leviticus 20:23 And ye shall not walk
in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and
therefore I abhorred them.
