2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, ^j“Put away ^kthe foreign gods that are among you and ^lpurify yourselves and ^mchange your garments.

23 He said, “Then put away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord, the God of Israel.”

16 So they ^qput away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord, and he became impatient ^rover the misery of Israel.

Samuel Judges Israel

3 And Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the Lord ^ywith all your heart, then ^zput away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your heart to the Lord and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

15 And he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city.
