Destroy Pagan Worship Sites

- This prevents pagan forms from shaping Israelite worship and preserves worship's intended meaning.
Worship Form Matters
- God forbids adopting pagan forms of worship even for worshiping Him.
- The specific forms of Old Testament worship protect a gospel-foreshadowing symbolism pointing to Christ.
Detailed Rituals Foreshadow Christ
