Deuteronomy 7:5

But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

But thus shall ye deal {H6213} with them; ye shall destroy {H5422} their altars {H4196}, and break down {H7665} their images {H4676}, and cut down {H1438} their groves {H842}, and burn {H8313} their graven images {H6456} with fire {H784}.

No, treat them this way: break down their altars, smash their standing-stones to pieces, cut down their sacred poles and burn up their carved images completely.

Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.

But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.
