[quote=Anonymous]It is essentially a paraphrase of the commandment to "have no other gods before me." The Israelites have been rescued from Egypt and are complaining about being oppressed in one of the lands in which they ended up. When they complain to God, his reply is, basically, "I brought you out of Egypt and told you to listen to me. Did you do that? No. You worshiped the local idols instead.* So I am really grumpy with you, but I will send another prophet and see if we can get back on track. AGAIN. Sigh." *i.e. the gods of the Amorites. Many translations have "worship" instead of "fear."[/quote]
