- 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 honor among the Egyptians under the name
  of honor 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.

VERSE 11 
 - 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.
