And thou shall consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee, etc.] All the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, which the Lord should deliver into their hands; them they were not to spare, but utterly destroy men, women, and children: thine eye shall have no pity upon them; (see Gill on “<050702>Deuteronomy 7:2”), neither shall thou serve their gods, for that will be a snare unto thee; which will bring into utter ruin and destruction; (see <022333>Exodus 23:33).
