22. `And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),
23. and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them--a great destruction--till their destruction;
24. and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.
25. `The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is];
26. and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house--or thou hast been devoted like it; --thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted.
