11but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove. 12For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.

13Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.

14Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me. 15You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.

Exodus 23:13 Summary

[This verse reminds us to be careful about what we say and do, and to make sure we are not giving honor to false gods. We should pay attention to God's commands and try to obey them, just like we would listen to a parent or teacher (Proverbs 1:7). By doing so, we can show our love and respect for God, and avoid getting into trouble. We can start by being mindful of the things we watch, listen to, and talk about, and making sure they are pleasing to God (Philippians 4:8).]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to 'invoke the names of other gods' in Exodus 23:13?

Invoking the names of other gods means to call upon, worship, or give recognition to deities other than the one true God, which is forbidden (Exodus 20:3, Deuteronomy 5:7).

Why is it important to pay close attention to God's commands as stated in Exodus 23:13?

Paying close attention to God's commands is crucial because it shows obedience and reverence to God, and it helps us to avoid sin and its consequences (Proverbs 1:7, Romans 6:17).

How can we apply the principle of not invoking other gods in our daily lives?

We can apply this principle by being mindful of the music we listen to, the movies we watch, and the conversations we have, making sure they do not promote or glorify false gods (Philippians 4:8, Colossians 3:2).

What is the relationship between this verse and the rest of the chapter?

This verse serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and loyalty to God, especially in the context of the Sabbath rest and the celebration of feasts, as mentioned in the surrounding verses (Exodus 23:12, Exodus 23:14).

Reflection Questions

How can I demonstrate my loyalty and commitment to God in my daily interactions and conversations?
What are some potential consequences of disobeying God's command not to invoke other gods?

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 23:13

And in all [things] that I have said unto you, be circumspect,.... Or observe them, be careful to keep them punctually and constantly, even all that are delivered in this and the preceding chapters:

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 23:13

And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 23:13

Make no mention, to wit, with honour or delight, or without detestation; as fornication is not to be named among saints, . Or, not mention them in your worship, or in oaths, or in common discourse, and without special occasion, lest the frequent mention of them might keep up their memory, or introduce their worship. Hence the names of idols and idolatrous places were ofttimes changed by the Israelites. See Compare .

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 23:13

Exodus 23:13 And in all [things] that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.Ver. 13. Be circumspect.] Or wary; keep you close to the rule, and up to your principles. Of the name of other gods,] sc., Without dislike. The primitive Christians would not call their days of the week, Dies Martis, Mercurii, &c., as Mercurius Trismegistus had named them; but the first, second, third, &c., day of the week, Deastrorum nomina ne nota quidem esse voluerunt inter Christi cultores, saith one. They desired that Christians should spit out of their mouths those dunghill deities with utmost contempt; as David did.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 23:13

(13) Be circumspect.—Rather, take heed. The verb used is a very common one. Make no mention of the name of other gods.—The Jewish commentators understand swearing by the name of other gods to be the thing here forbidden, and so the Vulg., “per nomen exterorum deorum non jurabitis.” But the words used reach far beyond this. Contempt for the “gods of the nations” was to be shown by ignoring their very names. They were not to be spoken of, unless by preachers in the way of warning, or by historians when the facts of history could not be otherwise set forth. Moses himself mentions Baal (Numbers 22:41), Baal-peor (Numbers 25:3; Numbers 25:5), Chemosh (Numbers 21:29), and Moloch (Leviticus 20:2-5; Leviticus 23:21).

Cambridge Bible on Exodus 23:13

13. God’s commands to be honoured; and ‘other gods’ not even to be mentioned, still less invoked in worship. The verse can hardly be in place in the midst of laws relating to sacred seasons. It reads like the conclusion, perhaps added by a compiler, either to the Book of the Covenant itself, or to one of the smaller collections of laws, out of which (cf. p. 203) the Book of the Covenant seems to have been formed. Probably it has found its present place as a result of successive expansions or transpositions of the text. It is impossible to determine its original position: but it would follow suitably v. 19. make] Heb. make ye; Sam. make thou. other gods] See on Exodus 20:3. With the clause itself comp.
