Deuteronomy 12:32 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:32

What thing soever I command you, observe to do it
In the manner it is commanded and directed to; the laws of God, both as to matter and manner, were to be obeyed just as they were delivered: thou shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it; neither add any customs and rites of the Heathens to them, nor neglect anything enjoined on them, see ( Proverbs 30:6 ) ( Revelation 22:18 Revelation 22:19 ) .

Deuteronomy 12:32 In-Context

30 They will be destroyed to make room for you. But when they are, be careful. Don't be trapped. Don't ask questions about their gods. Don't say, "How do these nations serve their gods? We'll do it in the same way."

31 You must not worship the LORD your God the way they worship their gods. When they worship, they do all kinds of evil things the LORD hates. They even burn up their children in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

32 Be sure you do everything I'm commanding you to do. Don't add anything to my commands. And don't take anything away from them.
