SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:10–15: The LORD will cause all sorcery and idolatry in Israel to end

This section is another prophecy. In this prophecy, the LORD spoke directly to the people of Israel.This is the interpretation of a large majority of commentators. These include NICOT, A&F, NAC, UBS, EBC, CBC, WBC, ZIBBC, Waltke 2007 and others. Some commentators suggest that the referent here is not Israel but ungodly nations. For example, see Achtemeier. However the latter interpretation has little to support it and is not clearly followed in versions. In 5:10–11, he told them that he would take away the military equipment and other things that they relied on instead of him. In 5:12–14, he said that he would end all sorcery and idol worship in Israel in order to purify their worship of him. In 5:15, he told about his intention to punish other nations that did not obey him.UBS (page 222).

Here are some other examples of section headings:

The Lord will Purify His People (NET)

Idols Will Be Destroyed in Israel (CEV)

5:14a–b

(combined/reordered)

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

14a I will root out the Asherah poles from your midst

14band demolish your cities.

There is an ellipsis (a deliberately omitted phrase) in 5:14b. In some languages, it may be necessary to supply the missing words from 5:14a. For example:

14band I will demolish your cities.

In these parallel lines, the LORD spoke about another kind of idol that the people relied on instead of relying on him. He will destroy these idols and the towns that contained them so that the people will no longer worship them.

5:14a

I will root out the Asherah poles from your midst

I will root out: The words root out means “pull out” or “remove.”HALOT (electronic edition, page 737).

the Asherah poles from your midst: This kind of pole was used in the worship of the Canaanite goddess Asherah.

Here are some other ways to translate this verse part:

I will uproot from among you your Asherah poles (NIV)

I will tear out the sacred poles from your midst (NAB)

Some versions leave the phrase from your midst implied. For example:

I shall pull up your sacred poles (REB)

I will pull down the images of the goddess Asherah in your land (GNT)

I will abolish your idol shrines with their Asherah poles (NLT)

5:14b

and demolish your cities.

and demolish your cities: The Hebrew word for cities is the same as in 5:12.Some scholars propose that the original Hebrew word did not mean cities but “idol.” Some others suggest emending the Hebrew word to one that means “idols” or “altars.” However, these suggestions lack evidence to support such a change. Ancient versions translate the word as “cities.” In the context of the parallel line, 5:14a, the reference is probably to towns or cities in Israel that were centers for the worship of Asherah.JFB (page 693), EBC (page 536), and NAC (page 106).

Here are some other ways to translate 5:14b:

and destroy your towns (NRSV)

and destroy your pagan cities (NLT)

General Comment on 5:14a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to combine and/or reorder these parallel lines. See 5:14a–b combined/reordered in the Display.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נָתַשְׁתִּ֥י אֲשֵׁירֶ֖י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_do in,anger and,in,rage vengeance DOM the=nations which/who not obeyed )

Yahweh is speaking of the poles that the people use to worship the goddess Asherah as if they were plants that he would uproot. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And I will tear out your Asherah poles]
