Exo 34:14 Thou shalt worship no straunge God: for the Lorde is called ielous, because he is a ielous God. Exo 34:15 Lest if thou make any agreement with the inhabitours of the lande, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice vnto their gods: they call thee, and thou eate of theyr sacrifice.
