Deuteronomy 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:14

Ye shall not go after other gods
To serve and worship them, and swear by them; and which indeed are no gods, only nominal and fictitious ones; idols which are nothing in the world, and ought to have no veneration and adoration given them; to go after them is to worship them, and this is to depart from the true God, and go a whoring after false deities:

of the gods of the people which are round about you;
the gods of the Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, Philistines, and Egyptians; all of which had their peculiar deities.

Deuteronomy 6:14 In-Context

12 be careful not to forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

13 Fear the Lord your God, worship Him, and take [your] oaths in His name.

14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you,

15 for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise, the Lord your God will become angry with you and wipe you off the face of the earth.

16 Do not test the Lord your God as you tested [Him] at Massah.
