Theological / Devotional

Lest thou make. The evil results of making treaties with the Canaanite nations (v. 12; ch. 23:32, 33), joining in idol feasts and marrying heathen wives (Judges 2:2, 11-13), are here vividly stated. Inasmuch as the Lord claimed His people as His bride, idolatry was regarded as adultery (Jer. 3:1-5; Eze. 16; 2 Cor. 11:2; Rev. 19:7-9 ; 21:2). “Molten gods” are expressly referred to because of the recent sin of the golden calf.
