Leviticus20:5

5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family , and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

(i. e.) Either 1. his posterity, whom God threatned to punish for their fathers Idolatry, Exod. 20. Or 2. his people, as that word is used, Ier. 8. 3. Mic. 2. 3. to wit, the people of that land, who by their connivance make themselves guilty of his sin, ver. 4. Or 3. his disciples and followers, who are oft called the sons or children of their masters. And so it may be seem to be explained in the following words, all that go a whoring after him, as the first clause which concerns the head or chief person himself, I will set my face against that man, is explained by these words, I will cut him off.

Marginal references: Exod. 20. 5.
