SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:17
y habéis visto sus abominaciones y sus ídolos de madera y piedra, plata y oro, que tienen consigo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And ye have seen their abominations and their idols , etc.] Or, “their abominations, even their idols”; for the same are meant by both: it is common in Scripture to call the idols of the Gentiles abominations, without any other explanation of them; (see 1 Kings 11:5,7); because they are abominable to God, and ought to be so to men: the word for idols has the signification of dung, and may be rendered dunghill gods, either referring to such that were bred and lived in dung, as the beetle, worshipped by the Egyptians, as Bishop Patrick observes; or which were as much to be loathed and abhorred as the dung of any creature: wood and stone, silver and gold ; these are the materials of which the idols they had seen in the several countries they had been in, or passed through, were made of; some of wood, others of stone cut out of these, and carved; others more rich and costly were made of massive gold and silver, and were molten ones; or the images of wood were glided with gold and silver; which [were] among them ; now these being seen by them in as they passed along, they might run in their minds, or be called to remembrance by them, and so they be in danger of being drawn aside to make the like, and worship them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-21 - The national covenant made with Israel, not only typified the covenan of grace made with true believers, but also represented the outwar dispensation of the gospel. Those who have been enabled to consent to the Lord's new covenant of mercy and grace in Jesus Christ, and to giv up themselves to be his people, should embrace every opportunity of renewing their open profession of relation to him, and their obligatio to him, as the God of salvation, walking according thereto. The sinne is described as one whose heart turns away from his God; there the mischief begins, in the evil heart of unbelief, which inclines men to depart from the living God to dead idols. Even to this sin men are no tempted, when drawn aside by their own lusts and fancies. Such men ar roots that bear gall and wormwood. They are weeds which, if let alone overspread the whole field. Satan may for a time disguise this bitte morsel, so that thou shalt not have the natural taste of it, but at the last day, if not before, the true taste shall be discerned. Notice the sinner's security in sin. Though he hears the words of the curse, ye even then he thinks himself safe from the wrath of God. There is scarcely a threatening in all the book of God more dreadful than this Oh that presumptuous sinners would read it, and tremble! for it is real declaration of the wrath of God, against ungodliness an unrighteousness of man.
