“Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.”

“So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.”

“So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.”

“And Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your fathers, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates and worshiped other gods.”

““Now, therefore,” he said, “get rid of the foreign gods among you and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.””

“for they forsook Him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.”

“So the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.”

“So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.”
