Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 33:52

Theological / Devotional

Ye shall drive out. The former inhabitants could not be allowed to remain in the land, as they were devoted to idolatry and would corrupt Israel (see Ex. 23:33; Deut. 20:16-18).

Pictures. Literally, “figured stones.” This may refer to carved figures on the pillars inside their idol temples, such as are common in India today.

High places. A reference to the heathen sanctuaries and altars built on the high hills.
