Verse 14. Thou shalt not go aside – to the right hand or to the left] The way of obedience is a straight way; it goes right forward; he who declines either to right or left from this path goes astray and misses heaven.

And thou shall not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day,…. Depart from them as a rule to walk by, turn out from them as a path to walk in, neglect and disobey them, and go into practices contrary to them: turning
[to] the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them; which to do was to break the first and principal table of the law, than which nothing was more abominable and provoking to God.

(14) And thou shalt not go aside.It is possible, of course, to connect this sentence with the if in Deu. 28:13, If that thou hearken and do not go aside. But the LXX., and apparently the Targums also, begin a fresh sentence with this verse. The idea that obedience begets obedience is by no means foreign to the Jewish mind. There are many passages in their literature which contain the thought expressed so forcibly in Rev. 22:11, He that is unjust, let him be unjust still . . . and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
