What does Deuteronomy 12:29-31 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedestd them, and dwellest in their land;
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
