35. With whom Hashem had cut a Brit, and commanded them, saying, Ye shall not fear elohim acherim, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor offer zevakhim to them;
36. But Hashem, Who brought you up out of Eretz Mitzrayim with koach gadol and a stretched out zero'a, Him shall ye fear, and to Him shall ye bow down in worship, and to Him shall ye offer zevakhim.
37. And the chukkot, and the mishpatim, and the torah, and the mitzvah, which He wrote for you, ye shall be shomer over to do kol hayamim; ye shall fear no elohim acherim.
38. And the Brit that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear elohim acherim.
39. But Hashem Eloheichem ye shall fear; and He shall deliver you out of the yad of all your oyevim.
40. Howbeit they did not pay heed, but they did after their mishpat harishon (former custom).
41. So these Goyim feared Hashem, and also served their peselim, both their banim, and their bnei banim; as did their avot, so do they unto this day.
