2. 凡……将儿女献给摩洛的——（参见 Le 18:21 的注释）。
本地的民要用石头打死他等——被判处石刑的罪犯，双手被绑，被带出城门外，到一个设有大石头在底部的小高岗。当他们走到离刑场还有十肘之处，有人劝勉他们认罪，好叫他们因信与悔改，灵魂可以得救。当被带到刑场四肘之内时，他们几乎被剥去衣裸露，并被赐予某种合人昏迷的饮料；此时证人脱去外衣，准备执行律法规定他们必须履行的死刑。罪犯被放在悬崖边上，然后被向后推下，从垂直高处坠落在下面的大石头上；若没有摔死，第二位证人便将一块大石头砸向他的胸部，然后"本地的民"——即旁观的群众——冲上前去，用石头完成死刑（Mt 21:44; Ac 7:58）。
英文原文
2. Whosoever . . . giveth any of his seed unto Molech--(See on
Le 18:21).
the people of the land shall stone him with stones, &c.--Criminals who were condemned to be stoned were led, with their hands bound, without the gates to a small eminence, where was a large stone placed at the bottom. When they had approached within ten cubits of the spot, they were exhorted to confess, that, by faith and repentance, their souls might be saved. When led forward to within four cubits, they were stripped almost naked, and received some stupefying draught, during which the witnesses prepared, by laying aside their outer garments, to carry into execution the capital sentence which the law bound them to do. The criminal, being placed on the edge of the precipice, was then pushed backwards, so that he fell down the perpendicular height on the stone lying below: if not killed by the fall, the second witness dashed a large stone down upon his breast, and then the "people of the land," who were by-standers, rushed forward, and with stones completed the work of death
(Mt 21:44; Ac 7:58).

4. 本地的人若掩眼不顾他等——即对同胞奉行摩洛的可怕礼仪闭眼纵容。竟有希伯来人的父母如此违背他们民族性的约，实在令人骇然；难怪神向他们和他们的家人宣告最严厉的刑罚。
英文原文
4. If the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, &c.--that is, connive at their countrymen practising the horrid rites of Molech. Awful was it that any Hebrew parents could so violate their national covenant, and no wonder that God denounced the severest penalties against them and their families.

7-19. 所以你们要自洁成圣——此处所列举的乱伦与逆性之罪的详尽指陈，表明这些罪在周围的偶像崇拜列国中可悲地盛行，以及以色列人极倾向于效法邻舍的风俗。应当明白，凡提到违者"必被治死"而未说明方式的，都是指石刑。唯一另一形式死刑的例子出现在 Le 20:14，即用火烧；然而很可能即便在此，也是先用石刑处死，然后才用火烧尽罪犯的尸体（Jos 7:15）。
英文原文
7-19. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy--The minute specification of the incestuous and unnatural crimes here enumerated shows their sad prevalence amongst the idolatrous nations around, and the extreme proneness of the Israelites to follow the customs of their neighbors. It is to be understood, that, whenever mention is made that the offender was "to be put to death" without describing the mode, stoning is meant. The only instance of another form of capital punishment occurs in
Le 20:14,
that of being burnt with fire; and yet it is probable that even here death was first inflicted by stoning, and the body of the criminal afterwards consumed by fire
(Jos 7:15).

20. 他们必无子女而死——要么因神的审判他们没有儿女，要么他们的私生子被人的权威否定其在以色列中儿女的寻常权利。
英文原文
20. they shall die childless--Either by the judgment of God they shall have no children, or their spurious offspring shall be denied by human authority the ordinary privileges of children in Israel.

24. 我……已使你们与万民分别——神将他们从列国中拣选出来，是为着那极其重要的目的：在普世背道之中，保存对真神的认识与敬拜。由于食物上的分别乃是达成这一分别为圣的一大手段，因此关于洁净与不洁净的牲畜要加以区分的律例，在此以郑重庄严的语气再次重申。
英文原文
24. I . . . have separated you from other people--Their selection from the rest of the nations was for the all-important end of preserving the knowledge and worship of the true God amid the universal apostasy; and as the distinction of meats was one great means of completing that separation, the law about making a difference between clean and unclean beasts is here repeated with emphatic solemnity.
