Deuteronomy 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:14

Ye shall not go after other gods
To serve and worship them, and swear by them; and which indeed are no gods, only nominal and fictitious ones; idols which are nothing in the world, and ought to have no veneration and adoration given them; to go after them is to worship them, and this is to depart from the true God, and go a whoring after false deities:

of the gods of the people which are round about you;
the gods of the Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, Philistines, and Egyptians; all of which had their peculiar deities.

Deuteronomy 6:14 In-Context

12 But be careful that you don't forget the Lord. Remember that he brought you out of Egypt. That's the land where you were slaves.

13 Worship the LORD your God. He is the only one you should serve. When you make promises, take your oaths in his name.

14 Don't follow other gods. Don't worship the gods of the nations that are around you.

15 The LORD your God is among you. He is a jealous God. If you worship other gods, his anger will burn against you. And he will destroy you from the face of the land.

16 Don't put the LORD your God to the test as you did at Massah.
