申命記 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:13

Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him
Serve him through fear; not through slavish fear, a fear of hell and damnation; but through filial fear, a reverential affection for that God that had brought them out of a state of bondage into great and glorious liberty, out of Egypt into Canaan's land, out of a place of misery into a land of plenty; and therefore should fear the Lord and his goodness, and from such a fear of him serve him, in every part of worship, public and private, enjoined; this passage Christ refers to ( Matthew 4:10 )

and shalt swear by his name;
when they made a covenant with any, or were called to bear a testimony for the decision of any controversy which could not be otherwise finished; or whenever they took an oath on any account, which should never be taken rashly or on any trivial account, and much less falsely; it should be taken not in the name of any idol, or of any other but the true and living God; the Targum of Jonathan is,

``in the name of the Word of the Lord, in truth ye shall swear.''

申命記 6:13 In-Context

11 有 房 屋 , 裝 滿 各 樣 美 物 , 非 你 所 裝 滿 的 ; 有 鑿 成 的 水 井 , 非 你 所 鑿 成 的 ; 還 有 葡 萄 園 、 橄 欖 園 , 非 你 所 栽 種 的 ; 你 吃 了 而 且 飽 足 。
12 那 時 你 要 謹 慎 , 免 得 你 忘 記 將 你 從 埃 及 地 、 為 奴 之 家 領 出 來 的 耶 和 華 。
13 你 要 敬 畏 耶 和 華 ─ 你 的   神 , 事 奉 他 , 指 著 他 的 名 起 誓 。
14 不 可 隨 從 別   神 , 就 是 你 們 四 圍 國 民 的   神 ;
15 因 為 在 你 們 中 間 的 耶 和 華 ─ 你   神 是 忌 邪 的   神 , 惟 恐 耶 和 華 ─ 你   神 的 怒 氣 向 你 發 作 , 就 把 你 從 地 上 除 滅 。
