Deuteronomy 12:2-4
12:2 You must by all means destroy
all the places where the nations you are about to dispossess worship their gods – on the high mountains and hills and under every leafy tree.
12:3 You must tear down their altars, shatter their sacred pillars,
burn up their sacred Asherah poles,
and cut down the images of their gods; you must eliminate their very memory from that place.
12:4 You must not worship the
Lord your God the way they worship.

because you are the ones who saw all the great deeds of the
Lord!
