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 take heed that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? --that I also may do likewise.'
31 You shall not do so to the LORD your God; for every abominable thing which the LORD hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 "Everything that I command you you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to it or take from it.
