Deuteronomy 7:2-5
and when Yahweh your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.

Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare among you;but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherah poles;for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.“ Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.“ You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.

You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
