Deuteronomio 29:17 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:17

And ye have seen their abominations and their idols
Or, "their abominations, even their idols"; for the same are meant by both: it is common in Scripture to call the idols of the Gentiles abominations, without any other explanation of them; see ( 1 Kings 11:5 1 Kings 11:7 ) ; because they are abominable to God, and ought to be so to men: the word for idols has the signification of dung, and may be rendered dunghill gods, either referring to such that were bred and lived in dung, as the beetle, worshipped by the Egyptians, as Bishop Patrick observes; or which were as much to be loathed and abhorred as the dung of any creature:

wood and stone, silver and gold;
these are the materials of which the idols they had seen in the several countries they had been in, or passed through, were made of; some of wood, others of stone cut out of these, and carved; others more rich and costly were made of massive gold and silver, and were molten ones; or the images of wood were glided with gold and silver;

which [were] among them;
now these being seen by them in as they passed along, they might run in their minds, or be called to remembrance by them, and so they be in danger of being drawn aside to make the like, and worship them.

Deuteronomio 29:17 In-Context

15 sino con los que están aquí presentes hoy con nosotros delante del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, y con los que no están aquí hoy con nosotros

16 Porque vosotros sabéis cómo habitamos en la tierra de Egipto, y cómo hemos pasado por en medio de los gentiles que habéis pasado

17 y habéis visto sus abominaciones y sus ídolos de madera y piedra, plata y oro, que tienen consigo

18 Por ventura habrá entre vosotros varón, o mujer, o familia, o tribu, cuyo corazón se vuelva hoy del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, por andar a servir a los dioses de aquellos gentiles; por ventura habrá en vosotros raíz que eche veneno y ajenjo

19 y sea que, cuando el tal oyere las palabras de esta maldición, él se bendiga en su corazón, diciendo: Tendré paz, aunque ande según el pensamiento de mi corazón, para añadir la embriaguez a la sed
