Deuteronomy 12:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

12 These are the statutes and the ordinances that you are to be conscientious about keeping in the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you to possess all the days that you live in the land:

² Completely destroy all the places where the nations that you are driving out serve their gods, whether on the high mountains or on the hills or under every beautiful green tree. ³ Tear down their altars! Smash their sacred memorial stones! Burn their Asherah poles^[a] with fire, and cut down the carved images of their gods! In this way you will destroy their names from those places.
