SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:23
Guardaos, no os olvidéis del pacto del SEÑOR vuestro Dios, que él estableció con vosotros, y os hagáis escultura o imagen de cualquier cosa, como el SEÑOR tu Dios te ha vedado.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. Take heed unto yourselves , etc.] Since he should not be long with them, to advise, instruct, and caution them: lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God , which he made with you; what that required of them, and what was promised unto them on the performance of it, and what they must expect should they break it, and particularly be so forgetful of it, and the first articles in it, as follows: and make you a graven image, or the likeness of anything which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee ; a graven image in the likeness of men or women, of any beast on the earth, or fowl in heaven, or fish in the sea.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-23 - The power and love of God to Israel are here made the ground and reaso of a number of cautions and serious warnings; and although there is much reference to their national covenant, yet all may be applied to those who live under the gospel. What are laws made for but to be observed and obeyed? Our obedience as individuals cannot meri salvation; but it is the only evidence that we are partakers of the gift of God, which is eternal life through Jesus Christ, Considerin how many temptations we are compassed with, and what corrupt desires we have in our bosoms, we have great need to keep our hearts with all diligence. Those cannot walk aright, who walk carelessly. Moses charge particularly to take heed of the sin of idolatry. He shows how weak the temptation would be to those who thought aright; for these pretende gods, the sun, moon, and stars, were only blessings which the Lor their God had imparted to all nations. It is absurd to worship them shall we serve those that were made to serve us? Take heed lest y forget the covenant of the Lord your God. We must take heed lest at an time we forget our religion. Care, caution, and watchfulness, are help against a bad memory.
