And so much concerning the sins of omission, whereof the people of Israel are here accused and convicted: now follow the sins of commission; whereby they had positively and actually broken Gods commandments. vers. 2. By swearing, and lying, & killing, & stealing, & whoring, Verse 2 they break out, and blood toucheth blood. In the original text, these sins are expressed in the Infinitive mood, to note their 1continued act of sinning. To swear and lye, & kill, & steal, & whore, is their usual custom, or common fashion, so that they do not only sometimes fall into these sins through infirmity but wilfully continue in them, and make them as it were their ordinary exercise, and common practise.
