This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field - “They” is supposed by some commentators to refer to the Egyptians, so that the verse will stand thus: “the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they (the Egyptians) offer in the open field.” The law is thought to have been directed against those whose Egyptian habits led them to imitate this idolatrous practice.
