Deuteronomy 4:25

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

When thou shall beget children, and children's children,.... Children and grandchildren, and several ages and generations have passed:and shalt have remained long in the land; many years and even ages, or have grown old in it: now they were in their infancy, and as such they were about to enter into it; during the times of the judges, they were in their childhood, or youth; in the times of David and Solomon, they were in their manhood; after that, in their decline; and in the times of Jeconiah and his brethren in their old age, when for their sins they were carried captive:and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of anything; See Gill on "De 25:16".

and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger; that sin of idolatry, that God provoking sin, is chiefly intended.
