3 The way the land of Egypt does, in which YOU dwelt, YOU must not do;+ and the way the land of Caʹnaan does, into which I am bringing YOU, YOU must not do;+ and in their statutes YOU must not walk.

24 “‘Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, because by all these things the nations whom I am sending out from before YOU have made themselves unclean.+

30 Watch out for yourself for fear you may be entrapped after them,+ after they have been annihilated from before you, and for fear you may inquire respecting their gods, saying, ‘How was it these nations used to serve* their gods? And I, yes, I, will do the same way.’

2 This is what Jehovah has said: “Do not learn the way of the nations at all,+ and do not be struck with terror even at the signs of the heavens, because the nations are struck with terror at them.+
