ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૨૦:૧૮
રખેને જે સર્વ અમંગળ કામો તેઓએ તેમના દેવોની પૂજામાં કર્યા છે. તે પ્રમાણે કરવાને તેઓ તમને શીખવીને યહોવાહ તમારા ઈશ્વરની સામે તમારી પાસે પાપ કરાવે.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण २०:१८
ऐसा न हो कि जितने घिनौने काम वे अपने देवताओं की सेवा में करते आए हैं वैसा ही करना तुम्हें भी सिखाएँ, और तुम अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा के विरुद्ध पाप करने लगो।

In context

16But of the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;

17but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you;

18that they not teach you to follow all their abominations, which they have done for their gods; so would you sin against the LORD your God.

19When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; for you may eat of them. You shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?

20Only the trees that you know are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down. You shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
