Luke
Acts 7:43KJV·traditional attribution

Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

John Calvin Reformed

43. You took to you the tabernacle of Moloch. Some take the copulative for the adversative [particle,] as if he should say, Yea, rather, ye worshipped the idol. It may be resolved also into the conjunction causal, thus, You did not offer sacrifices to me, because ye erected a tabernacle to Moloch.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

When Israel joined itself to idols, God said, Let them alone. He withdrew His restraining grace, and they became so scandalously mad upon their idols as no people ever were. This is the saddest punishment of all, when God gives men up to their own hearts' lust.

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Mo,.... Sometimes called Molech, and sometimes Milcorn; it was the god of the Ammonites, and the same with Baal: the one signifies king, and the other lord; and was, no doubt, the same with the Apis or Serapis of the Egyptians, and the calf of the Israelites.
