Deuteronomy 16:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
In context
19 Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20 Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
22 and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
