Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 16 of Deuteronomy. Planting an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord and erecting cultic pillars associated with pagan practices are prohibited. The legislation protects the exclusivity of the place of worship. Israel’s worship must not combine elements of neighboring religions with the altar dedicated to the covenant God.

Du sollst keine Säule aufrichten, welche der HERR, dein Gott, haßt.
Ni te levantarás estatua; lo cual aborrece Jehová tu Dios.
Tampoco levantarás para ti una columna de culto, cosa que Jehová tu Dios aborrece».
Tu ne dresseras point des statues, qui sont en aversion à l'Eternel, ton Dieu.
E non rizzarti alcuna statua; il che il Signore Iddio tuo odia
Nem levantarás imagem, a qual o SENHOR teu Deus odeia.
也不可為自己設立柱像,這是耶和華-你的上帝所憎恨的。」
