Moreover, they were to sweep out all the signs of false religion,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 7:10

Them that hate him; not only those who hate him directly and properly, (for so did few or none of the Israelites, to whom he here speaks,) but those who hate him by construction and consequence; those who hate and oppose his people, and word, and image, those who presumptuously and wilfully persist in the breach of God’s commandments, as appears from Deuteronomy 7:9, where the love of God, to which this hatred is opposite, is described and expressed by the keeping of his commandments.
