14 “Now therefore ^tfear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. ^uPut away the ^vgods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.

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