Commentary on Deuteronomy 12:30

Theological / Devotional

Take heed. All manner of temptations would present themselves in the new homeland.

Be not snared. It was a common belief among ancient peoples that it was fatal to neglect the worship of the gods of the particular locality in which a person might find himself (see 2 Kings 17:26). This accounts for the stress God laid upon not worshiping the gods of the country they were about to enter. Such worship was the root of the depravity of the heathen inhabitants about to be driven out or destroyed (Deuteronomy 7:16, 25).
