By this, then, Jacob's guilt will be atoned for, and this will be the full harvest that comes from the removal of his sin: when he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalkstones, no Asherah poles or incense altars will be left standing.
"You are not to set up a sacred pole beside the altar of the LORD your God that you will build.
They'll be ashamed of the oak trees that you desired; and you'll blush because of the gardens that you have chosen.
They will not look upon the altars, the products that their own fingers have made, and they will have no regard for Asherah poles or incense altars.
