Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 22:18

"Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live."A novel view of this verse was advocated by Esses who did not believe that the death penalty was assigned to witches in this place, but that, "The prohibition is against patronizing a witch and thus enabling her to support herself by her nefarious profession!"[12] He based that on the fact of other expressions being used in this chapter for the death penalty. We cannot accept such a view, because Leviticus 20:27 not only orders the death penalty for... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 22:19

"Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death."This crime was a capital offense under the Old Covenant. The commandment here was repeated in Leviticus 20:15,16 and in Deuteronomy 27:21. Many of the pagans actually ascribed such actions to their god Baal! The Hittites (also in Canaan) "condemned to death those who practiced this unnatural act with a pig, but those doing it with a horse or mule were free of penalty."[18] It may come as a shock to some, but this form of sodomy (See... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 22:20-24

"He that sacrifices unto any god, save unto Jehovah only, shall be utterly destroyed. And a sojourner shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him: for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them at all, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless."Harford noted that "custom gave... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 22:18

Exodus 22:18. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live— What is here translated witch, is rendered sorcerer, ch. Exo 7:11 where see an account of the word. In various passages of the law, some of which are pointed out in the margin of our Bibles, inchantment, magic, and sorcery, with all their abominable and idolatrous rites, are forbidden: the reason of which, as well as of the severe prohibition in this place, is the connexion of such sort of persons with demons and evil spirits, and their... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 22:20

Exodus 22:20. He that sacrificeth— A particular species of worship is here used to express worship in general: it means, he that payeth any religious honour,—shall be utterly destroyed; delivered to death, Deuteronomy 13:15; Deuteronomy 17:2-5. Houbigant observes here, that the Samaritan reading is the best: he that sacrificeth to strange gods, shall be devoted to death. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 22:18-20

God prohibited three more practices each of which brought the death penalty. All involve idolatry.In the ancient world, people made a distinction between black magic and white magic. The former sought to harm someone, and the latter did not. The Hammurabi Code prohibited the former only, [Note: Code of Hamurabi, section 2.] but the Torah outlawed both without distinction. Magic constituted an attempt to override God’s will. Probably Moses mentioned only the sorceress (Exodus 22:18) because... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 22:1-31

The Book of the Covenant (continued)1. Four sheep] The larger compensation required in the case of the ox is probably due to the fact that it is an animal used for labour, and of proportionately higher value, therefore, than a sheep: cp. 2 Samuel 12:6. 2. Breaking up] RV ’breaking in.’ 3. If the sun be risen upon him] i.e. if the housebreaking be committed in daylight. The nocturnal burglar is more dangerous and cannot be so easily detected. In a case of daylight robbery it is less necessary to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 22:16-31

MISCELLANEOUS LAWS.(16-31) The remainder of the chapter contains laws which it is impossible to bring under any general head or heads, and which can, therefore, only be regarded as miscellaneous. Moses may have recorded them in the order in which they were delivered to him; or have committed them to writing as they afterwards occurred to his memory. read more
