2 אַבֵּד תְּאַבְּדוּן אֶת־כָּל־הַמְּקֹמֹות אֲשֶׁר עָבְדוּ־שָׁם הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם יֹרְשִׁים אֹתָם אֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶם עַל־הֶהָרִים הָרָמִים וְעַל־הַגְּבָעֹות וְתַחַת כָּל־עֵץ רַעֲןָן׃


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 2. You shall utterly destroy every state of affection and thought in the soul, which has been a means for the evils of the unregenerate heart now dispossessed from the government of the soul, to cause the soul to love supremely what is evil and false, states in which self-love and worldly loves and the allurements of the senses predominated.
