# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Moses continues to tell the people of Israel Yahweh's words as if the Israelites are one person. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
|
|
|
|
# You will consume all the peoples
|
|
|
|
"I command you to completely destroy all the people groups"
|
|
|
|
# your eye will not pity them
|
|
|
|
This is a command. Moses speaks as if what the eye sees were the eye itself. Alternate translation: "do not allow what you see to cause you to pity them" or "do not pity them because you see that what you are doing is hurting them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

|
|
# You will not worship
|
|
|
|
"never worship"
|
|
|
|
# that will be a trap for you
|
|
|
|
If the people worship other gods, they will be like an animal caught in a hunter's trap, and they will be unable to escape. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
