12:29 When the Lord your God eliminates the nations from the place where you are headed and you dispossess them, you will settle down in their land. ¹  12:30 After they have been destroyed from your presence, be careful not to be ensnared like they are; do not pursue their gods and say, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do the same.” 12:31 You must not worship the Lord your God the way they do! ²  For everything that is abhorrent ³  to him, ⁴  everything he hates, they have done when worshiping their gods. They even burn up their sons and daughters before their gods!

12:32 ⁵  You ⁶  must be careful to do everything I am commanding you. Do not add to it or subtract from it! ⁷
