Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Be circumspect.--Rather, take heed. The verb used is a very common one.Make no mention of the name of other gods.--The Jewish commentators understand swearing by the name of other gods to be the thing here forbidden, and so the Vulg., "per nomen exterorum deorum non jurabitis." But the words used reach far beyond this. Contempt for the "gods of the nations" was to be shown by ignoring their very names. They were not to be spoken of, unless by preachers in the way of warning, or by historians when the facts of history could not be otherwise set forth. Moses himself mentions Baal (Numbers 22:41), Baal-peor (Numbers 25:3; Numbers 25:5), Chemosh (Numbers 21:29), and Moloch (Leviticus 20:2-5; Leviticus 23:21). . . .
