# General Information:
Moses continues to tell the people of Israel Yahweh's words as if the Israelites are one person.
# You will consume all the peoples
"I command you to completely destroy all the people groups"
# your eye will not pity them
"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". This is a command. Moses speaks as if what the eye sees were the eye itself.
# 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.
