8. You fought with them by banishing them, by driving them away.He has expelled themon the day of the east wind with His fierce wind.
9. Through this, therefore, the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:when he makes all the stones of the altaras chalkstones that are pulverized,when the groves and incense altarsshall not stand.
