Exodus 34:12

The LORD Renews the Covenant

11Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. 12Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.13Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
