“There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.”
God's primary commandment is stated: "There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god." The first commandment (in this formulation) forbids the worship of other deities. The term "strange god" and "foreign god" emphasize that exclusive worship of Yahweh is fundamental to the covenant.
