Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The expulsion of the Canaanites and the destruction of their monuments of idolatry had been already enjoined (see the marginal references); and Numbers 33:54 is substantially a repetition from Exo. 26:53-55. But the solemn warning of Numbers 33:55-56 is new. A call for it had been furnished by their past transgressions in the matter of Baal-peor, and by their imperfect fulfillment, at the first, of Mosesâ orders in the Midianite war.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 33:52. Ye shall - destroy all their pictures — ×ש×××ª× maskiyotham, from ש×× sachah, to be like, or resemble, either pictures, carved work, or embroidery, as far as these things were employed to exhibit the abominations of idolatry. Molten images צ××× ×ס××ª× tsalmey massechotham, metallic talismanical figures, made under certain constellations, and supposed in consequence to be possessed of some extraordinary influences and virtues.
