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 Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
31 Thou shalt not do in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
32 What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
