Take heed

You will not make a covenant with them and with their gods.

and Yahweh your God will give them {over to you} and you defeat them, you must {utterly destroy them}; you shall not make a covenant with them, and you shall not show mercy [to them].

And [as for] you, do not {make a covenant} with the inhabitants of this land; break down their altars.' But you did not listen to my voice. {Why would you do such a thing}?

Lest

And you shall devour all of the peoples [that] Yahweh your God [is] giving to you; {you shall not pity them}, and you shall not serve their gods, [which] will be a snare for you.

for if indeed you turn back and join these remaining nations {among you}, and you intermarry with them, {marrying their women and they yours},

Now I say, I will not drive them out from before you; they will {become as thorns} for you, and their gods will be a trap for you."

Gideon made an ephod [out of] it, and he put it in his town in Ophrah, and all Israel prostituted [themselves] to it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.

and served their idols, which became a snare to them.
