The Covenant Renewed

10 And He said: “Behold, aI make a covenant. Before all your people I will bdo marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is can awesome thing that I will do with you.  
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,  
16 and you take of ahis daughters for your sons, and his daughters bplay the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods.

Exodus 34:11-15

Why did God want these places destroyed? Because He wanted there to be no temptation to idolatry; no joining together of the way the people of the land worshipped their god with the way God wanted His people to worship Him. He did not want His way to be diluted by anything that was foreign to His purpose, to His plan. So He specifically designates that there is to be only one place.
