利未记 19:2-4 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 19:1-10

Moses is ordered to deliver the summary of the laws to all the congregation of the children of Israel (Lev. 19:2); not to Aaron and his sons only, but to all the people, for they were all concerned to know their duty. Even in the darker ages of the law, that religion could not be of God which boasted of ignorance as its mother. Moses must make known God's statutes to all the congregation, and proclaim them through the camp. These laws, it is probable, he delivered himself to as many of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:2

Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel ,.... They could not be all spoke to together, but tribe after tribe, or family after family; or rather the heads of the tribes, and at most the heads of families were convened, and the following instructions were given, to be communicated to their respective tribes and families. Jarchi says this section was spoken in the congregation, because the greater part of the body of the law, or the more substantial parts of it, depend upon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:3

Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father ,.... This has respect to the fifth command, which is the first with promise, and is here referred to first, because a man has his beginning in the world from his parents, and by them he is trained up in the observance of all the other laws of God, equally to be respected; and the fear of them is not servile, but filial, joined with love and affection to them, and includes an inward esteem and reverence of them, an outward respect unto them,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:4

Turn ye not unto idols ,.... From the one only true and living God to them that are not gods, as the word used signifies, who are nothing; for, as the apostle says, an idol is nothing in the world, 1 Corinthians 8:4 , is of no worth and value, of no consequence and importance, of no avail and usefulness to its devotees; wherefore to turn from the true God to such as these is the greatest stupidity, as well as wickedness: or "look not" at them F7 אל תפנו "ne respiciatis", Montanus,... read more

Ye shall fear every man his mother, etc. - Ye shall have the profoundest reverence and respect for them. See Clarke's note on Genesis 48:12 , and see Clarke's note on Exodus 20:8 , and see Clarke's note on Exodus 20:12 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:4

Turn ye not unto idols - אלילם elilim , literally nothings; and to this St. Paul seems to allude 1 Corinthians 8:4 , where he says, We know that an idol is Nothing in the world. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:3

Verse 3 Since this passage unquestionably relates to the explanation of the Fifth Commandment, it confirms what I have before shown, that the honor which God-commands to be paid to parents, does not consist in reverence only, but also embraces obedience. For the reverence which He now prescribes will render children submissive and compliant. Now, then, we more clearly understand how parents are to be honored, when God exhorts their children to beware of offending them; for this is, in a word,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:1-8

Purity in worship. The laws set out in this chapter were before communicated to Aaron and his sons; now they are given to the people ( Leviticus 19:1 , Leviticus 19:2 ). It is the privilege and duty of God's people to acquaint themselves with his will. They should learn the Law from the lips of Moses. They should learn the gospel from the lips of Jesus. It is a maxim of antichrist that" Ignorance is the mother of devotion" The mother of devotion, viz. to superstition, it is (see 1... read more
