Éxodo 34:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 34:14

For thou shall worship no other god
Than the Lord their God, the one only living and true God, which was the first command given to the people of Israel, and binding upon all men:

for the Lord whose name is Jealous, [is] a jealous God;
his name and nature answer to one another; he admits of no rival or competitor in worship; he will not give his glory to another god, or one so called, nor his praise to graven images; and in this he is distinguished from all nominal and fictitious gods, who have many joined with them, and are rivals of them, which gives them no concern, because insensible; but it is otherwise with the Lord, who knows the dishonour done him, and resents it, and is as jealous of any worship being given to another, as the husband is of the honour of his marriage bed; for idolatry is spiritual adultery, as is suggested in the following verse.

Éxodo 34:14 In-Context

12 Guárdate que no hagas alianza con los moradores de la tierra donde has de entrar, para que no sean por tropezadero en medio de ti;

13 mas derribaréis sus altares, y quebraréis sus imágenes, y talaréis sus bosques;

14 porque no te inclinarás a dios ajeno; que el SEÑOR, cuyo nombre es Celoso, Dios celoso es.

15 Por tanto no harás alianza con los moradores de aquella tierra; porque fornicarán en pos de sus dioses, y sacrificarán a sus dioses, y te llamarán, y comerás de sus sacrificios.

16 O tomando de sus hijas para tus hijos, y fornicando sus hijas en pos de sus dioses, harán también fornicar a tus hijos en pos de los dioses de ellas.
