Isaiah 27:9

Next

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 this {H2063} therefore shall the iniquity {H5771} of Jacob {H3290} be purged {H3722}; and this is all the fruit {H6529} to take away {H5493} his sin {H2403}; when he maketh {H7760} all the stones {H68} of the altar {H4196} as chalkstones {H1615} that are beaten in sunder {H5310}, the groves {H842} and images {H2553} shall not stand up {H6965}.

So the iniquity of Ya'akov is atoned for by this, and removing his sin produces this result: he chops up all the altar stones like chalk - sacred poles and sun-pillars stand no more.

Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.

Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
