Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - Law against sacrificing to false gods. Sacrifice was the chief act of worship; and to sacrifice to a false god was to renounce the true God. Under a theocracy this was rebellion, and rightly punished with temporal death. In ordinary states it would be no civil offence, and would be left to the final judgment of the Almighty. Utterly destroyed. Literally, "devoted;" but with the meaning of "devoted to destruction."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) He that sacrificeth.--Sacrifice in this place represents worship generally, being its most essential act. Elsewhere the death-penalty is affixed to any acknowledgment of false gods (Deuteronomy 13:1-16).Shall be utterly destroyed.--Heb., Shall be devoted, i.e., devoted to destruction.
