Lev. 20:1• 1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, (Lev. 20:1)
• Chapter 20 guards more against the evil and corruption which was found among the nations. In both they are called to be holy, in chapter 19 more in conformity to the character of God, in chapter 20 to keep apart from idols and evil because Jehovah had sanctified them to Himself. It insists upon purity in every respect. (“Leviticus 19-20” by J.N. Darby)
• In Leviticus 20 we have the same thing maintained {be ye holy, for I am holy}, with a strong caution against all that was inconsistent with God’s moral ways, and this in every kind of natural relationship, or indeed what might be unnatural. It is mainly in view of the enormities practiced by the Canaanites. (“Leviticus 20” by W. Kelly)
