Commentary on Deuteronomy 13:4

Theological / Devotional

Ye shall walk. This is the basic duty absolutely binding upon each believer (Deuteronomy 6:13; 10:20; 11:13, 22; Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14; Micah 6:8). The Hebrew word order is most emphatic. It would read literally, “after Jehovah your God shall ye walk,” meaning after Him and not after anyone else. Fellowship with God is often spoken of as a “walk” (Genesis 5:24).

His commandments. These consist of love expressed in attitudes and actions toward God and man (Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 6:5; 10:12; Micah 6:8), as Christ later explained (Matthew 5:43-45; 19:16-22; 22:36-40; see also 1 John 4:6-12).
