You must not worship the LORD your God in this way
This phrase emphasizes the distinctiveness of Israelite worship compared to the pagan practices of surrounding nations. The Israelites were called to worship God according to His commandments, not adopting the idolatrous customs of the Canaanites. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, where God's people are set apart (Leviticus 20:26). The command underscores the importance of worshiping God in spirit and truth (John 4:24), avoiding syncretism.

because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates
The term "abomination" refers to practices that are detestable to God, often associated with idolatry and immorality. The Canaanite religious practices included rituals that were morally and spiritually corrupt, such as temple prostitution and child sacrifice. These actions violated the moral law given to Israel and were contrary to God's nature, who is holy and just (Isaiah 6:3). The warning serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments (Deuteronomy 28).

They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods
This phrase highlights the extreme depravity of Canaanite worship, specifically the practice of child sacrifice, which was abhorrent to God. Archaeological evidence from sites like Carthage and Gezer supports the historical reality of such practices in the ancient Near East. The prohibition against child sacrifice is reiterated in other parts of the Bible (Leviticus 18:21,Jeremiah 7:31), emphasizing the sanctity of life. This also foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who offered Himself willingly, contrasting with the forced sacrifices of innocent children.

What Does Deuteronomy 12:31 Mean
You must not worship the LORD your God in this way

God draws a clear line between acceptable devotion and practices borrowed from the surrounding nations. He isn’t merely forbidding certain outward rituals; He is guarding His people’s hearts so that their worship remains pure and undiluted.

• The call to worship on God’s terms echoes earlier commands: “You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as he sees fit” (Deuteronomy 12:8).

• Israel must shun any imitation of pagan customs (Deuteronomy 12:4;Exodus 23:24), because genuine worship flows from obedience, not creativity that ignores God’s Word (John 4:24).

•Romans 12:1-2 reminds believers in every age to present themselves as living sacrifices and resist being “conformed to this world.” The principle is timeless: God alone defines true worship.

because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates

The passage exposes the moral gulf between the holy character of the LORD and the depravity of idolatry.

• “Abomination” signals deeds that are repulsive to God (Proverbs 6:16-19). What the nations call worship, God calls detestable.

•Deuteronomy 18:9-12 lists occult practices, divination, and sorcery as similar abominations—activities that entice but ultimately defile.

•Psalm 97:10 urges those who love the LORD to “hate evil.” Loving God means valuing what He values and rejecting what He rejects.

• God’s hatred of sin springs from His love for His people; He shields them from spiritual corruption and its devastating effects.

They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods

Here Moses names the most shocking evidence of pagan depravity: child sacrifice.

•Leviticus 18:21 and 20:2-5 plainly forbid giving children to Molech. Such cruelty profanes God’s name and tears at the fabric of family life He created.

• Centuries later, kings like Ahaz and Manasseh revived this horror (2 Kings 16:3; 21:6), bringing judgment on Judah. Josiah broke that cycle by defiling Topheth so “no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech” (2 Kings 23:10).

•Jeremiah 7:31 and 19:5 repeat God’s verdict: “I did not command or even envision such a thing.” The practice was unthinkable to the LORD whose nature is life-giving love.

•Psalm 106:37-38 mourns Israel’s compromise: “They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons… and the land was polluted with blood.” The text warns that adopting the world’s worship inevitably leads to destruction.

summary

Deuteronomy 12:31 forbids God’s people from blending His worship with pagan practices, because those practices are saturated with acts He despises, culminating in the atrocity of child sacrifice. The verse calls believers to honor the LORD by worshiping Him on His terms alone, guarding their hearts from every form of idolatry, and cherishing the sanctity of life that reflects His holy character.

Verse 31. -For even their sons and their daughters have they burnt in the fire to their gods. Elsewhere the phrase used is "make to pass through the fire "(Deuteronomy 18:10), or simply "make to pass through to Molech" (Leviticus 18:21;Jeremiah 32:35). This has led some to maintain that the ceremony described was merely a februation, a lustration by fire, and not an actual burning alive of these victims; but there can be no doubt that both among the Ammonites and the Phoenicians, and indeed wherever the worship of Baal or Molech was followed, the offering of children in sacrifice by burning prevailed (Munter, 'Religion der Karthager,' p. 18, 2nd edit.; Selden, 'De Diis Syris Syntag,'i.e. 6, pp. 93, 257, edit. Beyer, Amst., 1680).
