SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:27
Y él les dijo: Así dijo el SEÑOR Dios de Israel: Poned cada uno su espada sobre su muslo; pasad y volved de puerta a puerta por el campamento, y matad cada uno a su hermano, y a su amigo, y a su pariente.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:27
Verse 27. From gate to gate] It is probable that there was an enclosed or intrenched camp, in which the chief rulers and heads of the people were, and that this camp had two gates or outlets; and the Levites were commanded to pass from one to the other, slaying as many of the transgressors as they could find.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-29 - Never did any wise man make a more frivolous and foolish excuse tha that of Aaron. We must never be drawn into sin by any thing man can say or do to us; for men can but tempt us to sin, they cannot force us. The approach of Moses turned the dancing into trembling. They were expose to shame by their sin. The course Moses took to roll away thi reproach, was, not by concealing the sin, or putting any false colou upon it, but by punishing it. The Levites were to slay the ringleader in this wickedness; yet none were executed but those who openly stoo forth. Those are marked for ruin who persist in sin: those who in the morning were shouting and dancing, before night were dying. Such sudde changes do the judgments of the Lord sometimes make with sinners tha are secure and jovial in their sin.
