Verse 52

Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you ,.... Not at once, but gradually; and the sense is, that they should use their utmost endeavours wholly to extirpate them:

and destroy all their pictures ; their idolatrous ones; the pictures of their gods, or the statues and figured stones of them: the Targum of Jonathan interprets it,"all the temples of their worship;'and the Jerusalem Targum,"all their idols;'so called, as Jarchi notes, because they covered the floor with a pavement of marble stones, to worship upon them by the stretching out of their hands and feet, according to Leviticus 26:1 ,

and destroy all their molten images ; of gold, silver, &c.;

and quite pluck down all their high places ; their temples, groves, and altars built upon them.
