Commenting on Exodus 22:16-24
Elohim means all false gods whatsoever, Egyptian deities, the heavenly bodies that men then worshipped, every idol that ever was or will be. The Lord alone is the true God, self-existent and eternal. Whoever sacrifices to anything else, whether by offering, incense, or slain beast, is utterly destroyed, accursed, cut off in body and estate both.
