2 Kings 17:37 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:37

And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the
commandment which he wrote for you
On the two tables of stone:

ye shall observe to do for evermore;
those commands relating to religious worship, especially the object of it, and to moral duties, being of eternal obligation; and all other statutes and ordinances of a ceremonial kind he ordered to be written for them, being such that they were to regard until the Messiah came, and a new world began:

and ye shall not fear other gods;
which is repeated, that it might be observed, as it also afterwards is.
