Melachim Bais 17:36 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:36

But the Lord, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
with a great power, and a stretched out arm
Which is observed, to show the obligations they lay under, in point of gratitude, to serve the Lord:

him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do
sacrifice:
and him only, and not other gods; none but he being the object of religious fear and divine worship, and to whom sacrifices should be offered.

Melachim Bais 17:36 In-Context

34 Unto this day they [the Samaritans] do after the mishpatim harishonim (former practices); they fear not Hashem, neither do they after their chukkot, or after their mishpatim, or after the torah and mitzvah which Hashem commanded the Bnei Ya’akov, whom He named shmo Yisroel;
35 With whom Hashem had cut a Brit, and commanded them, saying, Ye shall not fear elohim acherim, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor offer zevakhim to them;
36 But Hashem, Who brought you up out of Eretz Mitzrayim with koach gadol and a stretched out zero’a, Him shall ye fear, and to Him shall ye bow down in worship, and to Him shall ye offer zevakhim.
37 And the chukkot, and the mishpatim, and the torah, and the mitzvah, which He wrote for you, ye shall be shomer over to do kol hayamim; ye shall fear no elohim acherim.
38 And the Brit that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear elohim acherim.
