Deu 12:31, like Deu 12:4, with the reason assigned in Deu 12:31 : "for the Canaanites prepare (עשׂה, as in Deu 12:27) all kinds of abominations for their gods," i.e., present offerings to these, which Jehovah hates and abhors; they even burn their children to their idols-for example, to Moloch (see at Lev 18:21). Deuteronomy 12:32
