said unto them] These things are not specified in so many words in Exodus, but are revealed by the Spirit to the Prophet, and do agree with what is written, Joshua 5:9.
abominations of his eyes] That is, the idols, to the spirituall desiring of which, mans heart is induced by the eyes; delighted with the matter, or the forme of them: and generally by all the outward senses; seeing they could not apprehend any Deity in them by the spirit. See Numbers 15:39. And to which they lifted up their eyes, Chap. 18. 6.
defile not your selves] God had forbidden them to make mention of the idols, Exodus 23:13. Psalms 16:4.
