“Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:”
Exodus 34:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 34:12
God warns against making covenants (בְּרִית, berit) with Canaan's inhabitants, calling such alliances a 'snare' (מוֹקֵשׁ, moqesh—a hunter's trap). Covenant with God demands exclusive loyalty; political/religious treaties with idolatrous nations would inevitably lead to syncretism. This principle applies to believers today regarding 'unequal yokes' (2 Cor 6:14-18).
