TSNTyndale Study Notes:

23:5-7 Josiah stopped the idolatrous priests from officiating over pagan rituals. He also demolished the living quarters of the cult prostitutes. Manasseh and Amon apparently had allowed the prostitution carried over from Canaanite practices (see 1 Kgs 14:24; 15:12; 22:46) to be practiced within the Temple itself.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) He brought out … and burned it … He beat it … and threw

(Some words not found in UHB: and,brought_out DOM the,asherah_pole from,temple YHWH at,outside of,Jerusalem to/towards wadi Kidron and,burned DOM=her/it in/on/at/with,brook Kidron and,beat to,dust and,threw DOM dust,its on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in graves sons_of the,people )

The word “he” refers to Josiah. He would have commanded his workers to do these things. Hilkiah and the priests who assisted him did these things. Alternate translation: “He had them bring out … and burn it … He had them beat it … and throw”
