John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Deuteronomy
13:10
And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he
die
It was not sufficient to answer the end of the law to cast a few
stones at him, but he was to be stoned to death:
because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord
thy God;
to compel by force of argument, or the dint of persuasion, to
relinquish the profession of the true God, faith in him, and the
worship of him:
which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house
of bondage;
which aggravated the sin of the enticer, and would have made the
sin of the enticed the more heinous had he fallen into it.
