Joshua 23:7

That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

KJV

ne postquam intraveritis ad gentes quæ inter vos futuræ sunt, juretis in nomine deorum earum, et serviatis eis, et adoretis illos :

Vulgate

ὅπως μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὰ ἔθνη τὰ καταλελιμμένα ταῦτα· καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θεῶν αὐτῶν οὐκ ὀνομασθήσεται ἐν ὑμῖν· οὐ μὴ προσκυνήσετε αὐτοῖς οὐδὲ μὴ λατρεύσετε αὐτοῖς,

LXX

that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them;
