23 You must not walk in the statutes of the nations that I am driving out from before you;+ for they have done all these things and I abhor them.+

29 “When Jehovah your God annihilates the nations that you are to dispossess,+ and you are living in their land, 30 be careful not to be entrapped after they have been annihilated from before you. Do not ask about their gods, saying, ‘How were these nations accustomed to serve their gods? I too will do the same.’+
