King James |
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. |
Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The context and parallel passages (compare Deu 17:7; Lev 20:2) indicate that there was to be a regular judicial procedure, and that the manner of the execution was to be by stoning. In this the community was to take its part in order to show its horror at the crime, and to clear itself of complicity therein. |

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
Israel was to adhere firmly to the Lord its God (cf. Deu 4:4), and to put to death the prophet who preached apostasy from Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel out of the slave-house of Egypt. להדּיחך, "to force thee from the way in which Jehovah hath commanded thee to walk." The execution of seducers to idolatry is enjoined upon the people, i.e., the whole community, not upon single individuals, but upon the authorities who had to maintain and administer justice. "So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee." הרע is neuter, as we may see from Deu 17:7, as comp. with Deu 13:2. The formula, "so shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee," which occurs again in Deu 17:7, Deu 17:12; Deu 19:19; Deu 21:21; Deu 22:21-22, Deu 22:24, and Deu 24:7 (cf. Deu 19:13, and Deu 21:9), belongs to the hortatory character of Deuteronomy, in accordance with which a reason is given for all the commandments, and the observance of them is urged upon the congregation as a holy affair of the heart, which could not be expected in the objective legislation of the earlier books. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
To thrust - This phrase notes the great force and power of seducers to corrupt men's minds. So shalt thou put the evil away - Thou shalt remove the guilt, by removing the guilty. |
2 Again, thou shalt say [0559] to the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Whosoever [0376] he be of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], or of the strangers [01616] that sojourn [01481] in Israel [03478], that giveth [05414] any of his seed [02233] unto Molech [04432]; he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]: the people [05971] of the land [0776] shall stone [07275] him with stones [068].
7 The hands [03027] of the witnesses [05707] shall be first [07223] upon him to put him to death [04191], and afterward [0314] the hands [03027] of all the people [05971]. So thou shalt put [01197] the evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you.
30 Thus the LORD [03068] saved [03467] Israel [03478] that day [03117] out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714]; and Israel [03478] saw [07200] the Egyptians [04714] dead [04191] upon the sea [03220] shore [08193].
