29 When the Lord thy God shall have rooted out before thy face the nations which thou goest to possess, so as thou hast them in possession and dwellest in their Land: 30 Then beware thou be not snared by them, after that they be overcome before thee. And enquire not after their gods, saying: Howe did these nations serve their gods? I will do so too. 31 Thou shalt not do so to the Lord thy God. For they have done all such things to their gods, as the Lord abhorreth and hateth. For they have burnt even their sons and daughters in fire to their gods. 32 Therefore whatsoever I command you, look that ye do it, and put not any thing to it, neither take any thing from it.
29 When the Lorde thy God shal haue rooted out before thy face the nations which thou goest to possesse, so as thou hast them in possession and dwellest in their Lande: 30 Then beware thou be not snared by them, after that they be ouercome before thee. And enquire not after their gods, saying: Howe did these nations serue their gods? I wil doe so too. 31 Thou shalt not doe so to the Lorde thy God. For they haue done all such things to their gods, as the Lorde abhorreth and hateth. For they haue burnt euen their sonnes and daughters in fire to their gods. 32 Therefore whatsoeuer I commaund you, looke that yee doe it, and put not any thing to it, neither take any thing from it.
