Deuteronomy 12:3-4
Deuteronomy 12:2-4 The Message (MSG)
Ruthlessly demolish all the sacred shrines where the nations that you’re driving out worship their gods—wherever you find them, on hills and mountains or in groves of green trees. Tear apart their altars. Smash their phallic pillars. Burn their sex-and-religion Asherah shrines. Break up their carved gods. Obliterate the names of those god sites. Stay clear of those places—don’t let what went on there contaminate the worship of GOD, your God.
