Deuteronomy 12:29-32

Warning Against Syncretism and Idolatry

Deuteronomy 12:29-32
29
When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which thou shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:
30
Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
31
Thou shalt not do in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
32
What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
