Contextual Overview

³⁴ They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them to destroy; ³⁵ but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works. ³⁶ And they served their graven images; and it became an offence to them. ³⁷ And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils, ³⁸ and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan; and the land was defiled with blood. ³⁹ and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their own devices. ⁴⁰ So the Lord was very angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance. ⁴¹ And he delivered them into the hands of their enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them. ⁴² Ands their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands. ⁴³ Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But were mingled among the Heathen,.... Not only dwelt among them, but made covenants and contracts, carried on trade and commerce, and intermarried with them, contrary to the express law of God, Deuteronomy 7:2. Nor should saints have communion with wicked men, especially in things sinful and superstitious, 2 Corinthians 6:14.

And learned their works; not their civil works and actions, their trades and business, but their idolatrous works; of which a detail is given in the following verses: "evil communications corrupt good manners", 1 Corinthians 15:33.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But were mingled among the heathen - Among the nations; by intermarriage, and by commerce. They suffered them to remain in the land, contrary to the command of God, and thus greatly exposed and endangered the purity of their religion and their own morals. See Judges 2:2; Judges 3:5-6.

And learned their works - Their practices; their customs and habits: learned to live as they did. This was an illustration of the danger of contact with the wicked and the worldly. What occurred in their case has often occurred since in the history of the people of God, that by “mingling” with the world they have learned to practice their “works;” have become conformed to their manner of living, and have thus lost their spirituality, and brought dishonor on the cause of religion. There is some proper sense in which the people of God are not to be conformed to the world; in which, though living among them, they are to be separate from them; in which, though they are parts of the same nation, and live under the same government and laws, they are to be a distinct and special people, ruled supremely by higher laws, and having higher and nobler ends of life. Rom 12:2; 2 Corinthians 6:14-17.
