'Sacred' in the Bible

But thus you shall do to them: you shall tear down their altars, and smash their sacred pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.

Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn up their Asherah poles, cut down the carved images of their gods, and wipe out their names from every place.

Be careful not to offer your burnt offerings in all the sacred places you see.

"You are not to set up a sacred pole beside the altar of the LORD your God that you will build.

and do not set up a sacred pillar; the Lord your God hates them.

There must never be a sacred prostitute among the young women of Israel nor a sacred male prostitute among the young men of Israel.

You shall say before the Lord your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and also have given it to the Levite and the alien, the orphan and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed or forgotten any of Your commandments.

Then it shall come about, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this [sacred] song will confront them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten from the mouth of their descendants. For I know their inclination which is developing even now, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn to give them.”
