“Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:”
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places — the command specifies the scope of conquest: complete dispossession of inhabitants and destruction of cultic objects (carved images, cast metal idols, high places of worship). This destruction of idolatry is not mere military victory but religious purification.
