Bible Comments

Shalt not do so unto the Lord; either,

1. Not offer him that indignity and injury to worship other gods together with him. Or rather,

2. Not worship him in such manner as they worshipped their gods, to wit, by offering thy children to him, as they did to their gods, as it here follows, or by their own devices or superstitions, as is implied, Deuteronomy 12:32.

Deuteronomy 12:31

31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
