VERSE 6
- near to kin. Heb. remainder of his flesh.
Not withstanding the prohibitions here, it must be evident,
that in the infancy of the world, persons very near of kin,
and even brothers and sisters, must have joined in
matrimonial alliances; and therefore we cannot pronounce them
immoral in themselves. But, in these first instances,
necessity required it; but when this necessity no longer
existed, the thing became inexpedient and improper: for 1.
As human nature now is, it is very expedient that those who
are so much together in youth, should, by such a restriction
be taught to look upon all such intercourse as prohibited and
incestuous; for unless such restrictions are made, it would
be impossible to prevent the prevalence of very early
corruption among young persons. (See Michaelis on the laws
of Moses, Art. 108.) 2. That the duties owing by nature to
relatives might not be confounded with those of a social or
political kind; for could a man be a brother and a husband,
or a son and a husband at the same time, and fulfil the
duties of both? Impossible. 3. That by intermarrying with
other families, relationship and its endearments might be
diffused. These prohibitions are, therefore, to be
considered so eminently moral obligations as to be observed
by all mankind.
- to uncover.

VERSE 21
- pass through.
Molech signifies a king, or governor, of similar import with
Baƒl, lord, or governor; and it is generally supposed that
the sun was worshipped under this name; and more particularly
as the fire appears to have been so much employed in his
worship. It seems clear that children were not only
consecrated to him by passing through the fire, which appears
to be alluded to here, but that they were actually made a
burnt offering to him. (See the parallel passages.) That
the several abominations afterwards mentioned were actually
practised by many heathen nations is abundantly attested by
their own writers.
