“Let us go after other gods” (v2). The Lord warned the Israelites that they would not only face temptation from those outside the community, but also from within. “Prophets” and “dreamers of dreams” would try to entice people away from the true God. Signs and wonders were not proof of credibility (v2); more than miracles, God wanted the Israelites to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul” (v3). Not even their own families should be able to sever their loyalty to God (v6).

The Savior who broke our bondage and brought us home (“out of Egypt”, v5) calls us to reject other voices and to cling to him with all our hearts.
