      (f) By consenting to his death, or conspiring with the
          wicked.

Le 19:19
19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle
      gender with a {g} diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy
      field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled
      of linen and woollen come upon thee.

      (g) As a horse to leap an ass, or a mule a mare.

Le 19:23
19:23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have
      planted all manner of trees for food, then ye {h} shall
      count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years
      shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be
      eaten of.

      (h) It shall be unclean as that thing, which is not
          circumcised.

Le 19:26
19:26 Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall
      ye use enchantment, nor {i} observe times.

      (i) To measure lucky or unlucky days.

Le 19:27
19:27 Ye shall not {k} round the corners of your heads, neither
      shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

      nor print any {l} marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.

      (l) By whipping your bodies or burning marks in them.

Le 19:29
19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a {m}
      whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become
      full of wickedness.

      (m) As did the Cyprians, and Locrenses.

Le 19:32
19:32 Thou shalt {n} rise up before the hoary head, and honour
      the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the
      LORD.

      (n) In token of reverence.

Le 19:35
19:35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in {o}
      meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

      (o) As in measuring the ground.

Le 19:36
19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just {p} ephah, and a just
      hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which
      brought you out of the land of Egypt.

      (p) By these two measures he means all other. Of Ephah,
          read Ex 16:36 and of Hin, Ex 16:36.
