Verse 4

4. Hasten after another god Spoken of the zeal of idol worship-pers, and especially of apostates, who in distress and fear precipitately cast off Jehovah for idols. Such shall multiply sorrows. This verse is in marked contrast with the preceding.

Drink offerings of blood The drink offering was a libation of wine, poured upon the sacrifice on the altar. It accompanied both bloody and unbloody sacrifices. See notes on Leviticus 23:13; Leviticus 18:27; Numbers 15:5; Numbers 7:10. The “drink offering of blood,” might be so called because accompanying the bloody sacrifice, as opposed to the minchah, or unbloody offerings; or as being, among idol worshippers, associated with inhuman rites, or with bloodstained hands.

Nor take up their name into my lips Which the law forbade.

Exodus 23:13
