Context33:52 you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images, all their molten images, 2 and demolish their high places.
1 tc Some scholars emend to בָּלְעָה (bal’ah), reading “and devoured,” instead of בַּעֲלֵי (ba’aley, “its lords”); cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV. This emendation is closer to the Greek and makes a better parallelism, but the MT makes good sense as it stands.
2 tn The Hebrew text repeats the verb “you will destroy.”
