“I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and strike every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. I am Yahweh; I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt.

Lord, who is like You among the gods?
Who is like You, glorious in holiness,
revered with praises, performing wonders?

Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods, because He did wonders when the Egyptians acted arrogantly against Israel.”

Do not have other gods besides Me.

You must not make gods of silver to rival Me; you must not make gods of gold for yourselves.

“Whoever sacrifices to any gods, except the Lord alone, is to be set apart for destruction.

“Pay strict attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.

You must not bow down to their gods or worship them. Do not imitate their practices. Instead, demolish them and smash their sacred pillars to pieces.

You must not make a covenant with them or their gods.

They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against Me. If you worship their gods, it will be a snare for you.”

“Do not make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land, or else when they prostitute themselves with their gods and sacrifice to their gods, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.

Then you will take some of their daughters as brides for your sons. Their daughters will prostitute themselves with their gods and cause your sons to prostitute themselves with their gods.

“Do not make cast images of gods for yourselves.
