1 These are the statutes and ordinances that you⁺ shall be careful to observe in the land that YHWH, God of your fathers, is giving to you to possess all the days that you⁺ live on the earth. 2 You⁺ shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations that you⁺ shall dispossess served their gods—on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 3 And you⁺ shall break down their altars and smash their pillars, and their Asherah poles you⁺ shall burn with the fire, and the carved images of their gods you⁺ shall cut down, and you⁺ shall destroy their names from that place. 4 You⁺ shall not do thus to YHWH your⁺ God. 5 For rather, unto the place where YHWH your⁺ God chooses out of all your⁺ tribes to establish His Name as His dwelling, you⁺ shall seek and you shall go there. Deuteronomy 12:1-5, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
