10
He said: I hereby make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform marvels, such as have not been performed in all the earth or in any nation; and all the people among whom you live shall see the work of the Lord; for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.
11
Observe what I command you today. See, I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
12
Take care not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, or it will become a snare among you.
13
You shall tear down their altars, break their pillars, and cut down their sacred poles
14
(for you shall worship no other god, because the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God).
