4:23Be on guard so that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God that he has made with you, and that you do not make an image of any kind, just as he39 has forbidden40 you. 4:24For the Lord your God is a consuming fire; he is a jealous God.41
Footnotes
- 39 Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in .
- 40 Heb “commanded.”
- 41 The juxtaposition of the Hebrew terms אֵשׁ (’esh, “fire”) and קַנָּא (qanna’, “jealous”) is interesting in light of Deut 6:15 where the Lord is seen as a jealous God whose anger bursts into a destructive fire. For God to be “jealous” means that his holiness and uniqueness cannot tolerate pretended or imaginary rivals. It is not petty envy but response to an act of insubordination that must be severely judged (see H. Peels, 3:).
