Xxiii. 31); and many of them, doubt- less, abandoned their country before the face of Israel. But there is only a single verse in which he might seem to command Israel to destroy them; our translators take the verse as a command to destroy not them, but their gods ; and before Deuteronomy was written this meaning had the preferable claim, as the most lenient interpretation: "Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works : but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, ...and quite break down their images " (Exod. Xxii. 24). But this single and doubtful expression the author of Deuteronomy expands in different places to the extent of a whole chapter, and under every form of the severest denunciation ; very naturally in the case of the true Moses, in the hour when Israel was to cross the Jordan, for the purpose of encouraging them in the great war on which they were entering, and of binding on them the severe duties now immediately before them. Now, on such a subject a late imitator of Moses could have had no conceivable motive for going beyond his words; but this supposed author, instead of " throwing back " his own creation into the likeness of the Mosaic precept, carries forward and develops the stern com- mand into a greatly enlarged and strongly enhanced severity.
