By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
By doing this, Jacob's wrongdoing will be cleansed, and this is the result to remove his sin; when he breaks all the altar stones into pieces, like crushed chalk, the forests and idols won't remain standing.
