Mungu aliwaambia Waisraeli ‘waondolee mbali mataifa saba yenye hesabu kubwa ya watu’—Wahiti, Wagirgashi, Waamori, Wakanaani, Waperizi, Wahivi, na Wayebusi—ambao walipaswa kuangamizwa. Watu hao walikuwa na mazoea yaliyopotoka kidini na kiadili. Baadhi ya miungu waliyoabudu ilitia ndani Baali (aliyewakilishwa na nguzo za mawe zilizokuwa na umbo la uume), Moleki (ambaye watoto walitolewa dhabihu kwake), na Ashtorethi (Astarte), mungu wa kike wa nguvu za uzazi.—Kum 7:1-4; 12:31; Kut 23:23; Law 18:21-25; 20:2-5; Amu 2:11-14; Zb 106:37, 38.
