Neither shall ye profane.  In forbidding the profanation of His name, He confirms in other words the foregoing sentiment; guarding by them His worship from all corruptions, that it may be maintained in purity and integrity. The same, too, is the object of the clause in apposition, which immediately follows; for they hallow God&#8217;s name who turn not away from its rightful and sincere worship. Let this be carefully observed, that whatever fancies men devise, are so many profanations of God&#8217;s name; for although the superstitious may please themselves by their imaginations, yet is all their religion full of sacrilege, whereby God complains that His holiness is profaned. Mark, also, the mutual relation, when God requires Himself to be hallowed, even as he hallows the people; for nothing can be more unseemly than for the Israelites to mix up with idols Him by whose blessing they excel all other nations. It is as though He commanded them to reflect from whence their superiority proceeded, that they may pay their debt of gratitude to Him who is its author. In sum, forasmuch as He had separated them from heathen nations, He condemns all wicked blending with them, whereby the integrity of religion is corrupted, so that He may alone have the pre-eminence, and all idols may be repudiated.

Our Lord Jesus was thus a lamb without spot or blemish; and when examined, no fault was found in him. (2.)

If we are ashamed of God, God will be ashamed of us. &#8220;Them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.&#8221; We cannot love our neighbour until we love our God The commandments, which are now but two in number, are really set in philosophical relation to one another. In this sense theology is the great philosophy of life. We cannot revere a redeeming God, and yet be careless about the moral condition of the people. We cannot pray to a throne of mercy, and then seat ourselves upon chairs of judgment. Our intensest solicitude should be expended upon the idea of true worship. To have a small conception of God is to have a small conception of life. To be irreverent in any degree towards Heaven is to be flippant in all our social relations. When a man has come away from long and profound communion with a God of purity and tenderness, it is impossible for him to either sympathise with iniquity, or to be impatient with weakness. As a debtor himself to the mercy of God, he is bound to be a creditor to the infirmities of his fellow-men. When the intellect of the Church supersedes the worship of the Church, Ichabod may be written upon its doors. The tendency of the times may be to magnify preaching above prayer, or genius above meditation: this may be to pay a flattering tribute to the spirit of so-called progress, but it is to lose the very bloom of godliness.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: The People&#8217;s Bible by Joseph Parker<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p> Lev 22:32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which hallow you,<\/p>\n<p> Ver. 32. <strong> My holy name.<\/strong> ] &#8220;Holy, and&#8221; therefore &#8220;reverend.&#8221; Psa 111:9 Holiness hath honour.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: John Trapp&#8217;s Complete Commentary (Old and New Testaments)<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p>holy = set apart.
