Éxodo 23:32

32 No harás pacto con ellos ni con sus dioses.

Éxodo 23:32 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 23:32

Thou shalt make no covenant with them
A covenant of peace, a league, a confederacy, so as to take them to be their allies and friends; but they were always to consider them as their enemies, until they had made an utter end of them; though the Gibeonites by craft and guile obtained a league of them; but the methods they took to get it show they had some knowledge of this law, that the Israelites might not, or at least would not, make any league or covenant with the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. This may be also extended to marriage covenants, which they were forbid to make with them; which yet they did, and proved a snare to them, for this brought them to makes a covenant with their gods, and serve them, which is here also forbidden:

nor with their gods;
making vows unto them, promising to serve them, if they would do such and such things for them.

Éxodo 23:32 In-Context

30 Poco a poco los echaré de delante de ti, hasta que te multipliques y tomes posesión de la tierra.

31 Y fijaré tus límites desde el mar Rojo hasta el mar de los filisteos, y desde el desierto hasta el río Eufrates; porque en tus manos entregaré a los habitantes de esa tierra, y tú los echarás de delante de ti.

32 No harás pacto con ellos ni con sus dioses.

33 Ellos no habitarán en tu tierra, no sea que te hagan pecar contra mí; porque si sirves a sus dioses, ciertamente esto será tropezadero para ti.
