2 So Jacob said to his ^dhousehold and to all who were with him, “Put away ^ethe foreign gods that are among you and ^fpurify yourselves and change your garments.

Choose Whom You Will Serve

14 ^g“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. ^hPut away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.

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

16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord, and ^ahe became impatient over the misery of Israel.
