DEUTERONOMY 16:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the Lord thy God hateth.”
And you shall not erect a stone pillar; for the LORD your God hates such things — the rejection of the massebah (standing stone) further prohibits Canaanite cult practices, preserving Israel's worship from the fertility religion aesthetics of the land she is entering, maintaining her distinctive covenantal identity.
