Burn the statues of their gods in fire; do not covet the silver and gold upon them and take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it, because it is abominated by Adonoy, your God.

**The Koren Jerusalem Bible:**
The carvings of their gods shall you burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, or take it to thee, lest thou be snared with it: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.

**The Rashi chumash by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein:**
The graven images of their gods shall you burn in fire. You shall not covet the silver and the gold upon them and take it to you lest you be ensnared by it. For it is the abomination of the L-rd your G-d.

Do not bring abomination into your house [lest] you become *cheirem* like it; thoroughly revile and abominate it, for it is *cheirem.*

**The Koren Jerusalem Bible:**
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou become accursed like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

**The Rashi chumash by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein:**
And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you be rejected as it is. Despise shall you despise it and abominate shall you abominate it; for it is rejected.
