Exodus 22:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Sacrificeth, or otherwise worshippeth, as appears from Deuteronomy 17:2-5, and many other places. One act of worship put for all by a very familiar synecdoche. Destroyed, Heb. anathematized, i.e. esteemed execrable, and as such destroyed without mercy. See Deuteronomy 13:15, Deuteronomy 18:20.

Exodus 22:20

20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
