Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
Ver. 27. To do all this great evil] Here are three articles in the Hebrew, importing the heinousness of this sin. See the like, Genesis 39:9 .
To transgress against our God] No sin can be little, because it is a disloyalty (so the word signifieth) against so great a God, and his most holy law; a sacrilegious trespass.
