3 You must not behave as they do in the land of Egypt, where you were dwelling, and you must not do what they do in the land of Caʹnaan, where I am bringing you.+ And you must not walk in their statutes.

16 (For you well know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the midst of various nations on our journey.+ 17 And you used to see their detestable things and their disgusting idols*+ of wood and stone, silver and gold, that were among them.)

14 “Therefore, fear Jehovah and serve him with integrity* and faithfulness,*+ and remove the gods that your forefathers served on the other side of the River* and in Egypt,+ and serve Jehovah.
