2 Kings 17:34

34 usque in praesentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum non timent Dominum neque custodiunt caerimonias eius et iudicia et legem et mandatum quod praeceperat Dominus filiis Iacob quem cognominavit Israhel

2 Kings 17:34 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:34

Unto this day they do after the former manners
Which may be understood either of the new colonies in Samaria doing after the former customs in their own land, or after the customs of the idolatrous Israelites; or of the Israelites in captivity continuing in their idolatry, not being in the least reformed by their troubles; or of such of them as were left in the land, who repented not of their idolatries, nor reformed from them:

they fear not the Lord;
did not worship him, at least not alone, and much less in a spiritual manner, with reverence and godly fear:

neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or
after the law and commandment which the Lord commanded the children of
Jacob, whom he named Israel;
that is, they did not observe the statutes and ordinances of the law given on Mount Sinai respecting religious worship, to act according to them.

2 Kings 17:34 In-Context

32 et nihilominus colebant Dominum fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus

33 et cum Dominum colerent diis quoque suis serviebant iuxta consuetudinem gentium de quibus translati fuerant Samariam

34 usque in praesentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum non timent Dominum neque custodiunt caerimonias eius et iudicia et legem et mandatum quod praeceperat Dominus filiis Iacob quem cognominavit Israhel

35 et percusserat cum eis pactum et mandaverat eis dicens nolite timere deos alienos et non adoretis eos neque colatis et non immoletis eis

36 sed Dominum Deum vestrum qui eduxit vos de terra Aegypti in fortitudine magna et in brachio extento ipsum timete illum adorate et ipsi immolate
