Leviticus 20:2
繁體中文
「摩洛」,字面意思是「王」,又稱摩洛、米勒公、瑪勒堪,後世稱為「亞捫人的可憎之物」(王上 11:5)。他看來是東方列國的火神,與太陽神巴力有關,有時甚至被視為同一。使兒女「經火歸摩洛」的儀式與這不敬虔習俗的性質,殊難確考。這些行徑似乎本質上與法術相連,大概也與不法的情慾以及某種特定形式的褻瀆起誓有關。在摩西的時代,這儀式與其說屬於明確的偶像崇拜,不如說屬於法術的範疇,或許是為亂倫與姦淫所生的兒女行的淨穢符咒,或所謂的火洗。
利未記 20:2
「總要用石頭打死他」——這是最常見的死刑方式。它大概最受採用,因為惟有如此,處決才是全會眾共同的行動。
英文原文
Molech, literally, "the King", called also Moloch, Milcom, and Malcham, was known in later times as "the abomination of the Ammonites" 1 Kings 11:5. He appears to have been the fire-god of the eastern nations; related to, and sometimes made identical with, Baal, the sun-god. The nature of the rite and of the impious custom called passing children through the fire to Molech is very doubtful. The practices appear to have been essentially connected with magical arts, probably also with unlawful lusts, and with some particular form of profane swearing. The rite in the time of Moses belonged to the region rather of magic than of definite idolatrous worship, and may have been practiced as a lustral charm, or fire-baptism, for the children of incest and adultery.
Leviticus 20:2
Stone him with stones - The commonest form of capital punishment. It was probably preferred as being the one in which the execution was the act of the whole congregation.

Leviticus 20:3
繁體中文
「褻瀆我的聖所」——意即使與聖所視為一體的百姓受到玷污。
英文原文
Defile my sanctuary - i. e. pollute the people as identified with their sanctuary.
14
Leviticus 20:14
繁體中文
按照律法的判決用火焚燒,是在罪犯被石頭打死或勒死之後執行的。見書 7:25。
英文原文
The burning under the sentence of the Law took place after the death of the criminal by stoning, or strangling. Joshua 7:25.
17
Leviticus 20:17
繁體中文
「剪除……」——見 Exodus 31:14 註釋。這裡所用更完全的說法，大概指某種特殊形式的公開逐出，甚至可能伴隨著被趕出營外。
英文原文
Cut off ... - See Exodus 31:14 note. The more full expression here used probably refers to some special form of public excommunication, accompanied, it may be, by expulsion from the camp.
20
Leviticus 20:20
繁體中文
「他們必無子女而死」——或是其後裔不算為他們合法的兒女，無權承受任何世襲的權利；或是他們必在兒女身上得不著福氣。
英文原文
They shall die childless - Either the offspring should not be regarded as lawfully theirs, nor be entitled to any hereditary privileges, or they should have no blessing in their children.
22
Leviticus 20:22
繁體中文
這裡再次陳明遵守這一切聖潔律法的根據。見 Leviticus 18:24-30 註釋。
英文原文
The ground is here again stated on which all these laws of holiness should be obeyed. See Leviticus 18:24-30 note.

Leviticus 20:24

25
Leviticus 20:25
繁體中文
潔淨與不潔淨之區分是為全體百姓而設，不是只為其中某一階層，這是「祭司的國度、聖潔的國民」的一大預表性標記。見 Leviticus 11:42 註釋。
Leviticus 20:25
「凡地上爬行的活物」——更確切地說，應作「凡爬行之物」，即任何有害的小生物。見 Leviticus 11:20-23。本節所指的是死了的動物，不是活著的時候的受造之物。
英文原文
The distinction between clean and unclean for the whole people, and not for any mere section of it, was one great typical mark of "the kingdom of priests, the holy nation." See the Leviticus 11:42 note.
Leviticus 20:25
Any manner of living thing that creepeth - Rather, any creeping thing; that is, any vermin. See Leviticus 11:20-23. The reference in this verse is to dead animals, not to the creatures when alive.
在利未記 18章、19章中純粹按屬靈理由而定罪的罪行,在此處則被視為危害民族福祉的過犯,各自配得特定的刑罰。
