DEUTERONOMY 12:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.”
And after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their gods and saying, 'How do these nations serve their gods? I will do the same' — the danger follows dispossession: curiosity about Canaanite religion (how they worship their gods) can lead to syncretism. The inquiry itself is spiritually perilous.
