Summary

In this verse, God instructs the Israelites to show zero tolerance for anyone trying to lead them away from Him to worship other gods. The severity of the punishment, which includes stoning, underscores the importance of loyalty and faithfulness to God alone. This command serves to protect the purity of worship and the spiritual integrity of the community. It also emphasizes the seriousness of idolatry and the need to uphold the covenant relationship with God above all else.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

And all Israel shall hear, and fear,.... Shall hear of the death the enticer was put unto, and shall fear to act such a part he did, and be upon their guard against any such person, and be cautious that they are not drawn into sin by him: and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you; either to entice unto idolatry or commit it; which is a piece of wickedness against the first table of the law, and a very heinous one, and exceeding offensive and provoking to God, being so directly against his being, perfections, and glory.
