申命記 13:7-12 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:6-11

Further provision is made by this branch of the statute against receiving the infection of idolatry from those that are near and dear to us. I. It is the policy of the tempter to send his solicitations by the hand of those whom we love, whom we least suspect of any ill design upon us, and whom we are desirous to please and apt to conform ourselves to. The enticement here is supposed to come from a brother or child that are near by nature, from a wife or friend that are near by choice, and are... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:12-18

Here the case is put of a city revolting from its allegiance to the God of Israel, and serving other gods. I. The crime is supposed to be committed, 1. By one of the cities of Israel, that lay within the jurisdiction of their courts. The church then judged those only that were within, 1 Cor. 5:12, 13. And, even when they were ordered to preserve their religion in the first principles of it by fire and sword to propagate it. Those that are born within the allegiance of a prince, if they take up... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:7

Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ,.... As of the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, and Phoenicians: nigh unto thee ; as the above were, being on the borders of their land: the Targum of Jonathan interprets this of the idols of the seven nations, that is, of the land of Canaan: or far off from thee ; as the Babylonians, Persians, and others: from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth ; which includes all the idols in the world,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:8

Thou shall not consent unto him ,.... To commit the idolatry enticed unto, or join with him in it: nor hearken to him ; not so much as patiently to hear him, but at once express an abhorrence of and indignation at what he recommends: neither shall thine eye pity him ; pitied he might be for his ignorance, stupidity, and wickedness, and on account of the miserable estate and condition he was in, and of those dreadful consequences which would follow upon it, if not converted from it;... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:9

But thou shalt surely kill him ,.... Not privately and secretly, when and where he entices, nor the enticed himself by his own authority, but after being examined, judged, and condemned by the civil magistrate; and none might judge a false prophet but the sanhedrim at Jerusalem, the sanhedrim of seventy one F13 Misn. Sanhedrin, c. 1. sect. 7. ; see Luke 13:33 , but the difficulty is how such an one could be convicted, since the affair was transacted secretly, Deuteronomy 13:6 and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:10

And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die ,.... It was not sufficient to answer the end of the law to cast a few stones at him, but he was to be stoned to death: because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God ; to compel by force of argument, or the dint of persuasion, to relinquish the profession of the true God, faith in him, and the worship of him: which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage ; which aggravated the sin of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:11

And all Israel shall hear, and fear ,.... Shall hear of the death the enticer was put unto, and shall fear to act such a part he did, and be upon their guard against any such person, and be cautious that they are not drawn into sin by him: and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you ; either to entice unto idolatry or commit it; which is a piece of wickedness against the first table of the law, and a very heinous one, and exceeding offensive and provoking to God, being... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:12

If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities ,.... A report concerning them, anyone of them: which the Lord thy God had given thee to dwell there ; which he had not only given them, but had put them into the possession of, and it was become their dwelling place, or was inhabited by Israelites; otherwise they were already given unto them, but did not inherit and inhabit them, and it might be possible that there might be some city or cities, at least for a time, which, though given them,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:7

Verse 7 7Namely, of the gods of the people. The sum of the matter is to this effect, that we should so acquiesce in the known truth, as that our ears may be closed to all the falsehoods by which it is opposed. Men’s neighborhood to each other commonly produces, by their intercommunication, a conformity of habits. Thus errors pass from one to the other; (60) and since we are generally prone to evil, the worse pervert the better. Since, then, the people of Israel were everywhere surrounded by... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:9

Verse 9 9But thou shalt surely kill him. He would not that every one should privately execute vengeance without a public trial; but he referred to the ordinary custom, that the witnesses should throw the first stone at condemned criminals, as we shall see elsewhere. For it was an admirable provision, that God would have those who had denounced the crime, to be the executors of its punishment, in order that they should be more cautious and moderate in giving their testimony. The reason, which is... read more
