20:23 You must not make gods of silver alongside me, 1 nor make gods of gold for yourselves. 2
Exodus 30:37
30:37 And the incense that you are to make, you must not make for yourselves using the same recipe; it is to be most holy to you, belonging to the Lord.
1 tn The direct object of the verb must be “gods of silver.” The prepositional phrase modifies the whole verse to say that these gods would then be alongside the one true God.
2 tnHeb “neither will you make for you gods of gold.”
