Deuteronomy 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:14

Ye shall not go after other gods
To serve and worship them, and swear by them; and which indeed are no gods, only nominal and fictitious ones; idols which are nothing in the world, and ought to have no veneration and adoration given them; to go after them is to worship them, and this is to depart from the true God, and go a whoring after false deities:

of the gods of the people which are round about you;
the gods of the Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, Philistines, and Egyptians; all of which had their peculiar deities.

Deuteronomy 6:14 In-Context

12 then be careful not to forget ADONAI, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you lived as slaves.

13 You are to fear ADONAI your God, serve him and swear by his name.

14 You are not to follow other gods, chosen from the gods of the peoples around you;

15 because ADONAI, your God, who is here with you, is a jealous God. If you do, the anger of ADONAI your God will flare up against you and he will destroy you from the face of the earth.

16 Do not put ADONAI your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah [testing].
