16For you yourselves know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the nations on the way here.
17You saw the abominations and idols among them made of wood and stone, of silver and gold.
18Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Make sure there is no root among you that bears such poisonous and bitter fruit,
— Deuteronomy 29:16-18
