Ulangan 9:12

9:12 And he said to me, “Get up, go down at once from here because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have sinned! They have quickly turned from the way I commanded them and have made for themselves a cast metal image.” ¹ 

Ulangan 11:16

Exhortation to Instruction and Obedience

11:16 Make sure you do not turn away to serve and worship other gods! ² 

Ulangan 17:11

17:11 You must do what you are instructed, and the verdict they pronounce to you, without fail. Do not deviate right or left from what they tell you.

Ulangan 17:17

17:17 Furthermore, he must not marry many ³  wives lest his affections turn aside, and he must not accumulate much silver and gold.

[9:12]  ¹ tc Heb “a casting.” The MT reads מַסֵּכָה (massekhah, “a cast thing”) but some mss and Smr add עֵגֶל (’egel, “calf”), “a molten calf” or the like (Exod 32:8). Perhaps Moses here omits reference to the calf out of contempt for it.

[11:16]  ² tn Heb “Watch yourselves lest your heart turns and you turn aside and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

[17:17]  ³ tn Heb “must not multiply” (cf. KJV, NASB); NLT “must not take many.”
