Deuteronomy 16:21-Deuteronomy 17:7 - Forbidden Forms Of Worship

21 Thou shalt plant no grove, of whatsoever trees it be, nigh unto the altar of the LORD thy God which thou shalt make thee. 22 Thou shalt set thee up no pillar, which the LORD thy God hateth.

1 Thou shalt offer unto the LORD thy God no ox or sheep wherein is any deformity, whatsoever evil favouredness it be: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

2 If there be found among you, in any of thy cities which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy 3 so that they have gone and served strange gods and worshipped them, whether it be the sun or moon or anything contained in heaven which I forbade, 4 and it was told thee and thou hast heard of it: Then thou shalt enquire diligently. And if it be true and the thing of a surety that such abomination is wrought in Israel, 5 then thou shalt bring forth that man or that woman which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates and shalt stone them with stones and they shall die. 6 At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is worthy of death, die: but at the mouth of one witness he shall not die. 7 And the hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and afterward the hands of all the people: so shalt thou put wickedness away from thee.
