23 And YOU must not walk in the statutes of the nations whom I am sending out from before YOU,+ because they have done all these things and I abhor them.+

30 Watch out for yourself for fear you may be entrapped after them,+ after they have been annihilated from before you, and for fear you may inquire respecting their gods, saying, ‘How was it these nations used to serve* their gods? And I, yes, I, will do the same way.’

9 “When you are entered into the land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not learn to do according to the detestable things of those nations.+
