Contextual Overview

⁸ My people, listen. I am warning you. Israel, please listen to me! ⁹ You must not have foreign gods; you must not worship any false god. ¹⁰ I, the Lord , am your God, who brought you out of Egypt. Open your mouth and I will feed you. ¹¹ "But my people did not listen to me; Israel did not want me. ¹² So I let them go their stubborn way and follow their own advice. ¹³ I wish my people would listen to me; I wish Israel would live my way. ¹⁴ Then I would quickly defeat their enemies and turn my hand against their foes. ¹⁵ Those who hate the Lord would bow before him. Their punishment would continue forever. ¹⁶ But I would give you the finest wheat and fill you with honey from the rocks."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There shall no strange god be in thee,.... Or in the midst of thee, owned and worshipped as God; or in thine heart, for whatever engrosses the affection, or a man puts his trust and confidence in, that he makes his god, and is a strange one: thus, if any friend or relation, father or mother, wife or children, are loved more than God, they are set up as such in his place; thus the epicure, that seeks the gratification of his carnal lusts, makes his belly his god; and the covetous man his money, in which he trusts, and therefore is called an idolater; and the self-righteous man his righteousness, on which he depends for salvation: hence we read of idols set up in the heart, from which they are disengaged in conversion, and kept from,

Ezekiel 14:7

neither shall thou worship any strange god; only the Lord God is to be worshipped, Matthew 28:19 and there is but one God; though this is to be understood not to the exclusion of the Son and Spirit, who are with the Father the one God, and to be worshipped equally with him, and are; see Matthew 28:19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

There shall no strange god be in thee - Worshipped by thee; or recognized and regarded as a god. This was a condition of his favor and friendship. Compare Deuteronomy 32:12; Isaiah 43:12. The word here rendered “strange” - זר zār - has reference to one of a foreign nation; and the meaning is, that they were not to worship or adore the gods that were worshipped by foreigners. This was a fundamental law of the Hebrew commonwealth.

Neither shalt thou worship any strange god - The Hebrew word here is different - נכר nêkâr - but means substantially the same thing. The allusion is to gods worshipped by foreign nations.
