Commentary
John Gill
Moreover, it shall come to pass,.... This being the case, they suffering the Canaanites to dwell among them, and they mingling with them, learning their works, and serving their gods: that
I shall do unto you as I thought I should do unto them; deliver them up into the hands of their enemies, who should carry them captive into other lands.
Next: Numbers Chapter 34
JFB
ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you--not, however, by expulsion, but extermination (Deu 7:1).
and destroy all their pictures--obelisks for idolatrous worship (see on Lev 26:1).
and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places--by metonymy for all their groves and altars, and materials of worship on the tops of hills.
