Deuteronomy 4:15-19
Take ye Deut 4:9, Deut 4:23; Josh 23:11; 1Chr 28:9-10; Ps 119:9; Prov 4:23, Prov 4:27; Jer 17:21; Mal 2:15 of similitude Deut 4:12; Isa 40:18; 2Cor 4:4-6; Heb 1:3 corrupt Deut 4:8-9; Exod 20:4-5, Exod 32:7; Ps 106:19-20; Rom 1:22-24 the likeness Such as Baal-peor, the Roman Priapus; Ashtaroth or Astarte, the Greek and Roman Venus, and many others. Deut 4:23; Isa 40:18; John 4:24; Acts 17:29, Acts 20:4-5; 1Tim 1:17 In these verses there is an evident allusion to the idolatrous worship in Egypt. Among the Egyptians, almost everything in nature was the object of their idolatry; among beasts were oxen, heifers, sheep, goats, lions, dogs, monkeys, and cats; among birds, the ibis, crane, and hawk; among reptiles, the crocodile, serpents, frogs, flies, and beetles; all the fish of the Nile, and the Nile itself; besides the sun, moon, planets, stars, fire, light, air, darkness, and night. These are all included in the very circumstantial prohibition in the text, and very forcibly in the general terms of Exod 20:4, the reason of which prohibition becomes self-evident, when the various objects of Egyptian idolatry are considered.
