- ત્યારે સાવધ રહેજો, રખેને તેઓનો તમારી આગળથી નાશ થયા પછી તમે તેઓનું અનુકરણ કરીને ફસાઈ જાઓ. અને તમે તેઓના દેવદેવીઓની પૂછપરછ કરતાં એવું કહો કે “આ લોકો કેવી રીતે પોતાના દેવદેવીઓની પૂજા કરે છે.”
- हिन्दी — व्यवस्थाविवरण १२:३०
- तब सावधान रहना, कहीं ऐसा न हो कि उनका सत्यानाश होने के बाद तू भी उनके समान फँस जाए, अर्थात् यह कहकर उनके देवताओं के सम्बंध में यह पूछपाछ न करना, कि उन जातियों के लोग अपने देवताओं की उपासना किस रीति करते थे? मैं भी वैसी ही करूँगा।
In context
28Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the LORD your God’s eyes.
29When the LORD your God cuts off the nations from before you where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,
30be careful that you are not ensnared to follow them after they are destroyed from before you, and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”
31You shall not do so to the LORD your God; for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, they have done to their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
