They set up for themselves pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree,
For they also built for themselves high places and pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree,
and I will root out your Asherah images from among you and destroy your cities.
And he sacrificed and made offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
You shall tear down their altars and break their pillars and cut down their Asherim
you who burn with lust among the oaks, under every green tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
“You shall not plant any tree as an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord your God that you shall make.
You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. You shall tear down their altars and dash in pieces their pillars and burn their Asherim with fire. You shall chop down the carved images of their gods and destroy their name out of that place.
“You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the Lord your God.
