25. Formal Translation You shall burn the idols of their gods in the fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold upon them, and you shall not take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikha, Covenant Guardian}. |
25. Dynamic Translation Burn the idols of their gods in the fire. Do not set your heart on the silver or the gold on them, and do not take it for yourself—otherwise you will be ensnared by it, because it is detestable to the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikha, Personal Protector}. |
