Deuteronomy 12:30 elaborates on this command — warns against even inquiring about how the nations worship, to avoid imitating them.

Deuteronomy 12:31 gives the reason for this prohibition — the nations' detestable practices, including child sacrifice.

Deuteronomy 16:21 applies this principle — forbidding Asherah poles near God's altar, a specific pagan practice.

Deuteronomy 16:22 also applies the principle — forbidding sacred pillars, another pagan practice.

Deuteronomy 20:18 echoes the same concern — that the nations' practices would teach Israel to sin, reinforcing this command.

Leviticus 20:23 gives a parallel command — not to follow the customs of the nations God drives out, for the same reason.

Leviticus 18:3 similarly forbids imitating the practices of Egypt and Canaan, a direct parallel to this command.

1 Kings 14:15 shows the judgment for making Asherim, the very idolatry this command forbids.

2 Kings 17:12 cites this command as the reason for judgment: they served idols despite God's prohibition.

Psalm 78:58 recounts how Israel's high places provoked God, echoing the forbidden worship here.
