Bible verse
Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
Deuteronomy 16:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 16.
17 Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
18 You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20 Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
22 and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
