This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Exo_23:13 And in all [things] that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Ver. 13. Be circumspect.] Or wary; keep you close to the rule, and up to your principles. {See Trapp on "Eph_5:15"}
Of the name of other gods,] sc., Without dislike. The primitive Christians would not call their days of the week, Dies Martis, Mercurii, &c., as Mercurius Trismegistus had named them; but the first, second, third, &c., day of the week, Deastrorum nomina ne nota quidem esse voluerunt inter Christi cultores, saith one. They desired that Christians should spit out of their mouths those dunghill deities with utmost contempt; as David did. {Psa_16:4}
