3 You should pull down their altars, shatter their sacred pillars,+ burn their sacred poles* in the fire, and cut down the graven images of their gods,+ obliterating their very names from that place.+

6 “Now you must be very courageous to observe and carry out all that is written in the book of the Law+ of Moses by never deviating from it to the right or to the left,+ 7 by never mingling with these nations+ that remain with you. You must not even mention the names of their gods+ nor swear by them, and you must never serve them nor bow down to them.+
