12:4 Ye shall {c} not do so unto the LORD your God.
(c) You shall not serve the Lord with superstitions.
12:4 Not do so - That is, not worship him in several places, mountains, and groves.
12:1-4 Moses comes to the statutes he had to give in charge to Israel; and begins with such as relate to the worship of God. The Israelites are charged not to bring the rites and usages of idolaters into the worship of God; not under colour of making it better. We cannot serve God and mammon; nor worship the true God and idols; nor depend upon Christ Jesus and upon superstitious or self-righteous confidences.
