DEUTERONOMY 12:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.”
You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates — even burning their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods — Canaanite worship is explicitly repudiated as abominable and involving human sacrifice (child immolation). This stark contrast establishes absolute incompatibility between Israelite and pagan practice.
