# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Moses continues to tell the people of Israel Yahweh's words. In verse 25 he speaks to the group as a group, so the forms of "you" are plural, but in verse 26 he speaks as if the Israelites are one person, so the forms are singular.

|
|
|
# You will burn
|
|
|
|
This is a command.
|
|
|
|
# do not covet ... trapped by it
|
|
|
|
These words add to the instruction to burn the idols.
|
|
|
|
# you will become trapped by it
|
|
|
|
"it will become a trap to you". Even taking the gold or silver on the idols could cause the people to start worshiping them.
|
|
|
|
# for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God
|
|
|
|
"do this because Yahweh your God hates it very much". These words tell why Yahweh wants the people to burn the idols.
