The concept of atonement is central to the Old Testament sacrificial system, where the shedding of blood was required for the forgiveness of sins (<a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a>). This atonement foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who provides the final atonement for sin (<a href="/hebrews/9-12.htm">Hebrews 9:12-14</a>). The use of "Jacob" signifies the entire nation of Israel, emphasizing God's covenant relationship with His people despite their transgressions.and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: The "full fruit" suggests a complete and transformative result of sin's removal, indicating not just forgiveness but also a change in behavior and worship practices. This transformation is a theme throughout the prophetic books, where true repentance leads to a return to God and His ways (<a href="/isaiah/1-16.htm">Isaiah 1:16-17</a>). The removal of sin is not only a spiritual cleansing but also has tangible effects on the community and its practices.When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, This imagery of altar stones being crushed signifies the destruction of idolatrous practices. In ancient Israel, altars were often built for the worship of foreign gods, which was strictly forbidden (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3-5</a>). The comparison to "crushed bits of chalk" implies total obliteration, leaving no trace of the former idolatry. This act of destroying altars is a physical demonstration of repentance and a return to the worship of Yahweh alone.no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing. Asherah poles were wooden symbols associated with the Canaanite goddess Asherah, often erected alongside altars to Baal. Incense altars were used in various religious rituals, including those not sanctioned by God. The removal of these objects represents a purging of idolatry from the land, aligning with the first commandment to have no other gods (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3</a>).

God accepts punishment as an expiation of sin; and this punishment of Judah was especially intended to be expiatory, and to remove at once his guilt, and the evil temper which had led him into sin. Its fruit would be a revulsion from idolatry, which would show itself in a fierce determination to destroy all idolatrous emblems and implements, altars, groves, images, and the like.
