Ídolos
A Bíblia condena a idolatria com veemência. Um ídolo é qualquer coisa que ocupa o lugar de Deus no coração. Os cristãos são chamados a guardar-se dos ídolos e servir ao Deus vivo.
Guardai-vos dos ídolos
Filhinhos, guardai-vos dos ídolos. A cobiça é idolatria. Tudo que ocupa o trono de Deus no coração é um ídolo.
Yeladim, keep yourselves from elilim.
Therefore, put to death your evarim (members) in the Olam Hazeh: zenut (fornication), debauchery, sensuality, zimmah (licentiousness), and chamdanut (covetousness), which is avodah zarah (idolatry).

Yet I am Hashem Eloheicha from Eretz Mitzrayim,
and thou shalt know no Elohim but Me;
for there is no Moshia besides Me.
O único Deus verdadeiro
O Senhor é Deus nos céus e na terra — não há outro. Escolham hoje a quem servir, mas eu e a minha casa serviremos ao Senhor.
Know therefore today, and consider it in thine lev, that Hashem He is HaElohim in Shomayim above, and upon Ha’Aretz beneath: there is no other.
Thou shalt not give heed unto the devarim of that navi, or that dreamer of dreams; for Hashem Eloheichem is testing you, to know whether ye love Hashem Eloheichem with all your lev and with all your nefesh.
And if it seem rah unto you to serve Hashem, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the elohim which Avoteichem served that were on the other side of the River, or the elohei HaEmori, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my bais, we will serve Hashem.
Or do you not have da’as that the resha’im (unrighteous ones) will not inherit the Malchut Hashem? Do not be deceived! Neither zannayim (fornicators), nor ovdei elilim (idolaters), nor mena’afim (adulterers), nor effeminate call boys nor homosexuals, Nor ganavim (thieves), nor kamtzanim (misers), nor shikkorim (drunkards), nor megadefim (revilers), nor the ones doing hona’ah (swindling) — none of these will inherit the Malchut Hashem.
Vencer a idolatria
Não tenhas comunhão com as obras das trevas. Revesti-vos da armadura de Deus para resistir às ciladas do diabo.
And do not involve yourself in the ma’asei haChoshech (works of darkness), those works without p’ri; but rather even expose them. For as to the things being done by them under cover of secrecy, it brings bushah (shame) and is a bizayon (disgrace) even to speak of them.
Put on the whole armor of Hashem for you to be able to stand against the nechalim (scheming deceitfulness, wiles, evil plots) of HaSatan.
I do not make a bakosha that You take them out of the Olam Hazeh, but that You keep them from HaRah.
No keli (weapon, instrument) that is formed
against thee shall prosper;
and every leshon (tongue) that shall rise against thee in mishpat (judgment, accusation)
tarshi’i (thou shalt condemn, prove false, refute, prove wrong).
This is the nachalat avdei Hashem (the heritage of the servants of Hashem),
and their tzedakah (righteousness, vindication) is from Me, saith Hashem.
Do not be overcome by what is ra’a, but overcome haRah with haTov.
Keep thy tongue from rah,
and thy lips from speaking mirmah. where it says Moshiach will lack mirmah
Now the sting of death is chet (sin) and the ko’ach (power) of chet (sin) is chukkat haTorah.
