Deuteronomio 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.''

Deuteronomio 6:13 In-Context

11 Encontrarás las casas muy bien abastecidas con bienes que tú no produjiste. Sacarás agua de cisternas que no cavaste y comerás de viñedos y olivares que no plantaste. Cuando hayas comido en esa tierra hasta saciarte,

12 ten cuidado de no olvidarte del Señor
, quien te rescató de la esclavitud de Egipto.

13 Teme al Señor
tu Dios y sírvele a él. Cuando hagas un juramento, hazlo sólo en su nombre.

14 »No rindas culto a ninguno de los dioses de las naciones vecinas,

15 porque el Señor
tu Dios, quien vive en medio de ti, es Dios celoso. Se encenderá su enojo contra ti y te borrará de la faz de la tierra.
