50-53. ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before
you--not, however, by expulsion, but extermination
(De 7:1).
and destroy all their pictures--obelisks for idolatrous worship
(see on
Le 26:1).
and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their
high places--by metonymy for all their groves and altars, and
materials of worship on the tops of hills.
