Context — The Judgment Against Idolatrygenerated
Micah 5:13 speaks of God's intention to cleanse His people from idolatrous practices. He will remove carved images and sacred pillars, which symbolize false worship, to ensure that the people do not continue to bow down to their own creations. This call for purification is echoed throughout the prophetic literature, emphasizing the importance of exclusive worship of Yahweh, as seen in passages like Isaiah 42:8.

The Key Word — וְהִכְרַתִּי, ve.hikh.ra.Tigenerated
The verb כָּרַת (karath) means to cut off or destroy. In this context, it signifies God's decisive action to eliminate idolatry from among His people.
The Hiphil form indicates causation, suggesting that God will actively uproot these idols. This word also carries a connotation of covenant-making, highlighting the seriousness of God's commitment to His people and their fidelity to Him.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses cut off for the Hebrew verb וְהִכְרַתִּי.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main action is governed by the finite verb וְהִכְרַתִּי, and I will cut off. This verb is followed by two noun phrases describing what will be cut off: פְסִילֶ֛יךָ and וּמַצֵּבוֹתֶ֖יךָ.
The structure of the sentence emphasizes the removal of these idols from the midst of the people, leading to the consequence that they will no longer bow down to their own handiwork.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וְהִכְרַתִּי as ἐκκόψω (ekkopsō), meaning 'I will cut off.' This choice maintains the sense of destruction inherent in the Hebrew.
The use of ἐκκόψω suggests a strong action of removal, aligning with the intent of the Hebrew text to convey God's judgment against idolatry.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Micah 5:13 tells us that God will remove idols and sacred pillars from His people, ensuring they will no longer worship what they have made with their own hands. This reflects God's desire for His people to worship Him alone, free from the distractions of idolatry.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

This verse emphasizes that true worship must be directed to God alone, and that any form of idol worship is unacceptable and leads to spiritual corruption.
We learn that God desires purity in our worship and that He is committed to removing anything that distracts us from a true relationship with Him.

a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
