Deuteronomy 27:15

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

Cursed be the man that makes any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

Verse 14 Read Chapter 27 Verse 16

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

Thing. Protestants, any. Image. They insert the word any, and translate image, as they almost constantly do where idols are meant, to make the ignorant believe, that all images are to be rejected with the utmost abhorrence, as cursed things. Why then do they not observe the injunction themselves? (Chap. xvi. 22.) (Haydock) Secret. The magistrates had to punish all acts of public idolatry with the utmost severity. But God will not suffer those to escape who do such things even in the most private manner. Amen, truly; (Calmet) so be it.
