23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.
23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
23 You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
23 Don't make gods of silver and gods of gold and then set them alongside me.
23 You shall not make anything to be with Me--gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.
23 Remember, you must not make any idols of silver or gold to rival me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 20:23
Commentary on Exodus 20:22-26
(Read Exodus 20:22-26)
Moses having entered into the thick darkness, God there spake in his hearing all that follows from hence to the end of chap. 23, which is mostly an exposition of the ten commandments. The laws in these verses relate to God's worship. The Israelites are assured of God's gracious acceptance of their devotions. Under the gospel, men are encouraged to pray every where, and wherever God's people meet in his name to worship him, he will be in the midst of them; there he will come unto them, and will bless them.
