Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

17:1-7 No creature which had any blemish was to be offered in sacrifice to God.

So great a punishment as death, so remarkable a death as stoning, must be inflicted on the Jewish idolater. Let all who in our day set up idols in their hearts, remember how God punished this crime in Israel.
