Deuteronomy 11:16

Exhortation to Instruction and Obedience

11:16 Make sure you do not turn away to serve and worship other gods! ¹ 

Deuteronomy 32:16

32:16 They made him jealous with other gods, ² 

they enraged him with abhorrent idols. ³ 

[11:16]  ¹ tn Heb “Watch yourselves lest your heart turns and you turn aside and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

[32:16]  ² tc Heb “with strange (things).” The Vulgate actually supplies diis (“gods”).

[32:16]  ³ tn Heb “abhorrent (things)” (cf. NRSV). A number of English versions understand this as referring to “idols” (NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV), while NLT supplies “acts.”
