^26 (A)You shall therefore ^[a]keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you

²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled),

³⁰ ‘Therefore you shall keep My ^[a]ordinance, so ^(A)that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: ^(B)I am the Lord your God.’ ”

Beware of False Gods

²⁹ “When ^(A)the Lord your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land,

³⁰ take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’
