Exodus 23:7

Study

       

7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Commentary

 

Go after

  

To go after or to follow, as in Genesis 24:8, signifies to be separated from the natural and conjoined to the rational principle.
