3 And YOU must pull down their altars+ and shatter their sacred pillars,+ and YOU should burn their sacred poles*+ in the fire and cut down the graven images+ of their gods, and YOU must destroy their names from that place.+

4 He it was that removed the high places+ and broke the sacred pillars+ to pieces and cut down the sacred+ pole and crushed to pieces the copper serpent+ that Moses had made;+ for down to those days the sons of Israel had continually been making sacrificial+ smoke to it, and it used to be called the copper serpent-idol.*+

31 And as soon as they finished all this, all the Israelites+ that were found [there] went out to the cities of Judah,+ and they proceeded to break up the sacred pillars+ and cut down the sacred poles*+ and pull down the high places+ and the altars+ out of all Judah+ and Benjamin and in Eʹphra·im+ and Ma·nasʹseh+ until they had finished; after which all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each one to his own possession.
