- * devils.
- {Seirim,} properly signifies hairy or hairy ones; and hence
- is used not only for he-goats, but also for some fabulous
- beings or sylvan gods, to whom was ascribed the form of
- goats. Maimonides says that the Zabian idolaters worshipped
- demons under the form of goats; and that this custom being
- spread among other nations, gave occasion to this precept.
- He-goats, however, are probably intended here, which were
- objects of divine honour among the Egyptians under the name
- of honour among the Egyptians under the name of Mendes.
- Herodotus says that all goats were worshipped in Egypt; but
- particularly he-goats. From these seem to have sprung Pan,
- Silenus, and the innumerable herd of those imaginary beings,
- fauns, satyrs, dryads, etc., all woodland gods, and held in
- veneration by the Greeks and Romans.
-
- * gone a whoring.
- Though this phrase is equivalent, in Scripture, to that of
- committing idolatry, yet it is to be taken sometimes in a
- literal sense. Baalpeor and Ashtaroth were worshipped with
- obscene rite; and public prostitution formed a great part of
- the worship among the Egyptians, Moabites, Canaanites,
- Greeks, and Romans.

- * the life.
- This sentence, which contains a most important truth, had
- existed in the Mosaic writings for more than 3,000 years,
- before the attention of any philosopher was drawn to the
- subject. That the blood actually possesses a living
- principle, and that the life of the whole body is derived
- from it, is a doctrine of revelation, and a doctrine which
- the experiments of the most accurate anatomists have served
- strongly to confirm. The proper circulation of this
- important fluid through the whole human system was first
- taught by Solomon in figurative language, (Ec 12:6,) and
- discovered, as it is called, and demonstrated by Dr. Harvey
- in 1628; though some Italian philosophers had the same notion
- a little before. This accurate anatomist was the first who
- fully revived the Mosaic notion of the vitality of the blood;
- which was afterwards adopted by the justly celebrated Dr.
- John Hunter, professor of anatomy, and established by him, by
- a great variety of strong reasoning and accurate experiments.

- * near to kin. Heb. remainder of his flesh.
- Not withstanding the prohibitions here, it must be evident,
- that in the infancy of the world, persons very near of kin,
- and even brothers and sisters, must have joined in
- matrimonial alliances; and therefore we cannot pronounce them
- immoral in themselves. But, in these first instances,
- necessity required it; but when this necessity no longer
- existed, the thing became inexpedient and improper: for 1.
- As human nature now is, it is very expedient that those who
- are so much together in youth, should, by such a restriction
- be taught to look upon all such intercourse as prohibited and
- incestuous; for unless such restrictions are made, it would
- be impossible to prevent the prevalence of very early
- corruption among young persons. (See Michaelis on the laws
- of Moses, Art. 108.) 2. That the duties owing by nature to
- relatives might not be confounded with those of a social or
- political kind; for could a man be a brother and a husband,
- or a son and a husband at the same time, and fulfil the
- duties of both? Impossible. 3. That by intermarrying with
- other families, relationship and its endearments might be
- diffused. These prohibitions are, therefore, to be
- considered so eminently moral obligations as to be observed
- by all mankind.

- * pass through.
- Molech signifies a king, or governor, of similar import with
- Baâl, lord, or governor; and it is generally supposed that
- the sun was worshipped under this name; and more particularly
- as the fire appears to have been so much employed in his
- worship. It seems clear that children were not only
- consecrated to him by passing through the fire, which appears
- to be alluded to here, but that they were actually made a
- burnt offering to him. (See the parallel passages.) That
- the several abominations afterwards mentioned were actually
- practised by many heathen nations is abundantly attested by
- their own writers.

- The Hebrews had several kinds of offerings, which they called
- {corban}. Some were free-will offerings, and others were of
- obligation. The first fruits, the tenths, the sin-offerings,
- were of obligation; the peace-offerings, vows, offerings of
- oil, wine, bread, and other things which were made to the
- temple, or to the ministers of the Lord, were offerings of
- devotion; these constituted the greater part. They indeed
- were a shadow of good things to come, which we enjoy in full
- fruition through THE ONE great SACRIFICE, even Jesus Christ.

- His mitre and his vest,

- In what code of laws merely human, is a requisition to be
- found so counteracting to selfishness, so encouraging to
- liberality, and so beneficently considering to the poor and
- needy? But the Mosaic dispensation, like the Christian,
- breathed with love to God, and benevolence to man. To the
- honour of the public and charitable spirit of the English,
- this merciful law is, in general, as much attended to as if
- it had been incorporated with the gospel.
