Wesley's Notes for Deuteronomy 31:23


31:21 Their imaginations - Inclinations to Idolatry, which they do not check, as they ought; and some of them do not only cherish it in their hearts, but as far as they can and dare, secretly practise it, as may be gathered from #Amos 5:25 Acts 7:43|.

31:25 The Levites - The priests, #Deu 31:9|, who also were Levites.
