Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 19:5

_ _ commanded not — nay, more, I commanded the opposite (Leviticus 18:21; see Jeremiah 7:31, Jeremiah 7:32).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 19:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 19:5

To burn — This and the following verse, contain another great sin of this people, with the punishment which God proportions to it. The sin in the general was idolatry, but a most barbarous species of it, mentioned also Jeremiah 7:31, Jeremiah 32:35, where it is said, they made their sons and their daughters pass thro' the fire to Molech; the place where they did it is called Tophet, Jeremiah 19:6, of which also mention is made, Isaiah 30:33. Baal and Molech, signify the same thing; Baal signifies a Lord, Molech a King. Both Baal and Molech seem common names to all idols.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 19:5

They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire [for] burnt offerings to Baal, which I (c) commanded not, nor spoke [it], neither came [it] into my mind:

(c) By which is declared that whatever is not commanded by God's word concerning is service is against his word.
