Deuteronomio 4:28 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:28

And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood
and stone
Idols made by men, cut out of wood and stone; these they should be enticed into the service of, or compelled to serve; which was still more brutish and stupid than to worship the sun, moon, and stars, which were not the works of men's hand, but the glorious works of the eternal God. But since in their captivities they were not subject to idolatry, but were cured of it thereby, another sense of the words is given by some, as by Onkelos and Jonathan, who paraphrase the words of serving the people, that serve idols; but what follows confirms the first sense:

which neither see, nor hear, nor taste, nor smell;
senseless things, which have none of the senses of seeing, hearing, and smelling, nor the faculty of eating, which they need not to support life, of which they are destitute; and therefore it must be monstrous stupidity to worship such lifeless, senseless, objects; see ( Psalms 115:4-7 ) .

Deuteronomio 4:28 In-Context

26 yo pongo hoy por testigos al cielo y a la tierra, que presto pereceréis totalmente de la tierra a la cual pasáis el Jordán para heredarla; no estaréis en ella largos días sin que seáis destruidos

27 Y el SEÑOR os esparcirá entre los pueblos, y quedaréis pocos hombres en número entre los gentiles a los cuales os llevará el SEÑOR

28 Y serviréis allí a dioses hechos por manos de hombres, de madera y de piedra, que no ven, ni oyen, ni comen, ni huelen

29 Mas si desde allí buscares al SEÑOR tu Dios, lo hallarás; si lo buscares de todo tu corazón y de toda tu alma

30 Cuando estuviereis en angustia, y te alcanzaren todas estas cosas, si en los postreros días te volvieres al SEÑOR tu Dios, y oyeres su voz
