Musar sur L’Exode 34:15
פֶּן־תִּכְרֹ֥ת בְּרִ֖ית לְיוֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֑רֶץ וְזָנ֣וּ ׀ אַחֲרֵ֣י אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֗ם וְזָבְחוּ֙ לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם וְקָרָ֣א לְךָ֔ וְאָכַלְתָּ֖ מִזִּבְחֽוֹ׃
Garde-toi de faire alliance avec l’habitant de ce pays: prostitué au culte de ses dieux, il leur sacrifierait et il te convierait à ses sacrifices et tu en mangerais.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
This concludes the list of the 613 commandments. According to Nachmanides the commandment to do תשובה is also alluded to in this portion in 30,11: "For this commandment which I command you this day is not too hard for you, etc." In the portion האזינו we find an allusion to the prohibition to drink wine intended as a libation for idolatrous cults. The Torah refers to this in 32,38: "who are the fat of their offerings and drank their libation wine." We have a similar allusion to this commandment in Exodus 34,15: "and he will invite you and you and will partake of his (idolatrous) offerings." The word "from" (his offerings) includes libations.
