11 aObserve what I command you this day. Behold, bI am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
12 aTake heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.
13 But you shall adestroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and bcut down their wooden images
14 (for you shall worship ano other god, for the Lord, whose bname is Jealous, is a cjealous God),
15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they aplay the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them binvites you and you ceat of his sacrifice,

Exodus
Exodus
EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
