Leviticus 18:29 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

To wit, by death to be inflicted by the magistrates, as it is apparent in case of idolatry with Moloch or other false gods; and in case of the magistrates neglect, by God himself.

Leviticus 18:29

29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
