Deuteronômio 13:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 13:4

Ye shall walk after the Lord your God
As he has directed, according to the laws and rules which he has given, both with respect to their moral and civil conduct, and their religious worship of him; and so the Targum of Jonathan,

``ye shall walk after the worship of the Lord your God:''

and fear him, and keep his commandments;
fear to offend him, and so keep his commandments; or keep his commandments from or through fear; not a servile but a filial one, a reverential affection for him; this is the whole duty of man, ( Ecclesiastes 12:13 ) ,

and obey his voice;
in his word, or by his prophets and ministers: it may very well be understood of the voice of Christ, the Angel that went before them, whose voice they were continually to hearken to and obey, ( Exodus 23:21 Exodus 23:22 )

and you shall serve him, and cleave unto him;
it may respect all religious worship, both private and public; the Targum of Jonathan restrains it to prayer, but it not only includes that, but all other acts of piety and devotion, and which are to be constantly performed and not departed from; for so to do is to cleave to the Lord as a man to his wife, or a woman to her husband, in which conjugal relation God and his people Israel were, he was an husband unto them, and to do otherwise is to go a whoring from him after other gods.

Deuteronômio 13:4 In-Context

2 e suceder o sinal ou prodígio de que vos houver falado, e ele disser: Vamos após outros deuses - deuses que nunca conhecestes - e sirvamo-los!

3 não ouvireis as palavras daquele profeta, ou daquele sonhador; porquanto o Senhor vosso Deus vos está provando, para saber se amais o Senhor vosso Deus de todo o vosso coração e de toda a vossa alma.

4 Após o Senhor vosso Deus andareis, e a ele temereis; os seus mandamentos guardareis, e a sua voz ouvireis; a ele servireis, e a ele vos apegareis.

5 E aquele profeta, ou aquele sonhador, morrerá, pois falou rebeldia contra o Senhor vosso Deus, que vos tirou da terra do Egito e vos resgatou da casa da servidão, para vos desviar do caminho em que o Senhor vosso Deus vos ordenou que andásseis; assim exterminareis o mal do meio vós.

6 Quando teu irmão, filho da tua mãe, ou teu filho, ou tua filha, ou a mulher do teu seio, ou teu amigo que te é como a tua alma, te incitar em segredo, dizendo: Vamos e sirvamos a outros deuses! - deuses que nunca conheceste, nem tu nem teus pais,
