unto Devils] Meaning whatsoever is not the true God, Deuteronomy 32:17. Psalms 106:37. 1 Corinthians 10:20. 2 Corinthians 11:15. Revelation 9:20. but yet taken for a God, and worshipped as a God; The Hebrew word Sehhirim, or Segnirim, signifieth hairie, and goatish, of Sahhar or Sagar an haire, or hairie creature, or goat; by which may be meant those devils who appeared rough and hairie, as the Satyres, or Faunes, Esay 34. 14. or because the apparition of such, through fear made the hair stand on end; as Job 4:15.
after whom] For Idolatrie is spirituall whoredom, because of the Covenant betwixt God and his people, as betwixt an husband and his wife; Hosea 2:16; Hosea 2:18-19. and the Covenant is broken on their part, when they, like Ephraim, joyne themselves to Idols, Hosea 4:17. See Annot. on Exodus 34:15.
No more] Here it appeares that the Jewes were much addicted to Idolatry; and it is like they both learned it, and practised it in Egypt, Ezekiel 23:8.
