John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And the Lord shall give them up before your face, etc.] To ruin and destruction; the Targum of Jonathan is, “the Word of the Lord shall deliver them up:” that ye may do unto them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you; that is, utterly destroy them, make no covenant with them, enter into no alliances nor contract any marriages with them; but demolish their altars, cut down their groves, and break their images in pieces; of which last Aben Ezra interprets the words; but they are not to be restrained to that single instance; (see <050701>Deuteronomy 7:1-5).”
