Exodus 23:33
33They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, ait will surely be a snare to you.”Numbers 33:55
55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as bbarbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell.Deuteronomy 7:16
16And cyou shall consume all the peoples that the Lord your God will give over to you. dYour eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be ea snare to you.Judges 2:2-3
2 fand you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; gyou shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? 3So now I say, hI will not drive them out before you, but they shall become ithorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.”Psalms 106:35-39
35but they jmixed with the nationsand learned to do as they did.
36They served their idols,
which became ka snare to them.
37They lsacrificed their sons
and their daughters to mthe demons;
38they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was npolluted with blood.
39Thus they obecame unclean by their acts,
and pplayed the whore in their deeds.
