Deuteronomy 4:26
"When you father children and children’s children, and you have been long in the land, and then corrupt yourselves, and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight to provoke him to anger,"
Key Reflection
This passage warns that even after generations have lived in the Promised Land, they might turn away from God by creating idols and engaging in practices He deems wicked. Such actions would provoke divine wrath, reminding the Israelites of the importance of remaining faithful to Yahweh despite their long tenure in the land.
