Exode 34:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 34:17

Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
] Made of a melted liquid, whether gold, or silver, or brass, poured into a mould; and though graven images are not mentioned, they are included, a part being put for the whole, as appears not only from the injunction to break images in general, whether graven or molten, ( Exodus 34:13 ) but from the second command, which expressly forbids the making and worshipping of them; but "molten" ones are particularly mentioned, because it is probable they were chiefly such the Canaanites worshipped, and especially, because the calf the Israelites had lately made and worshipped was a molten one.

Exode 34:17 In-Context

15 Garde-toi de faire alliance avec les habitants du pays, de peur que, se prostituant Ă  leurs dieux et leur offrant des sacrifices, ils ne t'invitent, et que tu ne manges de leurs victimes;
16 de peur que tu ne prennes de leurs filles pour tes fils, et que leurs filles, se prostituant Ă  leurs dieux, n'entraĂźnent tes fils Ă  se prostituer Ă  leurs dieux.
17 Tu ne te feras point de dieu en fonte.
18 Tu observeras la fĂȘte des pains sans levain; pendant sept jours, au temps fixĂ© dans le mois des Ă©pis, tu mangeras des pains sans levain, comme je t'en ai donnĂ© l'ordre, car c'est dans le mois des Ă©pis que tu es sorti d'Egypte.
19 Tout premier-nĂ© m'appartient, mĂȘme tout mĂąle premier-nĂ© dans les troupeaux de gros et de menu bĂ©tail.
