Exodus - 34:14 Meaning

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

34:10-17 The Israelites are commanded to destroy every monument of idolatry, however curious or costly; to refuse all alliance, friendship, or marriage with idolaters, and all idolatrous feasts; and they were reminded not with idolaters, and all idolatrous feats; and they were reminded not to repeat the crime of making molten images. Jealously is called the rage of a man, Pr 6:34; but in God it is holy and just displeasure. Those cannot worship God aright, who do not worship him only.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
