Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 12 of Deuteronomy. Israel must destroy the Canaanite worship sites and seek the place God will choose to establish his name. The chapter opposes the tendency to copy the nations’ religious practices and establishes the centralization of worship around the chosen sanctuary. Legitimate worship is therefore connected not to any place considered sacred by human initiative, but to the order established by God.

Ihr sollt dem HERRN, eurem Gott, nicht also tun;
No haréis así a Jehová vuestro Dios.
No harán así con Jehová su Dios.
Vous n'agirez pas ainsi à l'égard de l'Eternel, votre Dieu.
Non fate così inverso il Signore Iddio vostro
Assim não fareis ao SENHOR vosso Deus;
你們不可那樣敬拜耶和華-你們的上帝。
