These are the decrees and laws
you must be careful to follow in the land
that the Lord, the God of your fathers,
has given you to possess -
as long as you live in the land.
Destroy completely all the places
on the high mountains
and on the hills
and under every spreading tree
where the nations you are dispossessing
worship their gods.
Break down their altars,
smash their sacred stones
and burn their Asherah poles in the fire;
cut down the idols of their gods
and wipe out their names from those places.
You must not worship the Lord your God in their way.
(Deuteronomy 12:1-4)
