Context — Midian Oppresses Israel
8He sent them a prophet, who told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
9I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.
10And I said to you: ‘I am the LORD your God. You must not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.’ But you did not obey Me.”
11Then the angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites. 12And the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and said, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.”Cross References

Judges 6:10 Summary
[Judges 6:10 is a reminder that God is our one true God, and we should not fear or worship any other gods, just like He said in Exodus 20:3. This means trusting in His power and presence, even when we're surrounded by other influences or pressures, and remembering His past faithfulness, as in Judges 6:8-9. By focusing on God and obeying His commands, we can experience His blessings and protection, as promised in verses like Deuteronomy 28:1-14.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main command God gives to the Israelites in Judges 6:10?
God commands the Israelites not to fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land they dwell, as He is their one true God, echoing the command in Exodus 20:3 to have no other gods before Him.
Why does God remind the Israelites of His identity as their God?
God reminds the Israelites of His identity to establish His authority and to reassure them of His presence and power in their lives, as seen in verses like Deuteronomy 6:4 and Isaiah 41:10.
What is the consequence of not obeying God's command in Judges 6:10?
The consequence of not obeying God's command is that the Israelites will continue to struggle with idolatry and fear of other gods, leading to further judgment and discipline, as seen in the cycle of sin and judgment throughout the book of Judges, such as in Judges 2:10-23.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of the book of Judges?
This verse highlights the Israelites' recurring struggle with idolatry and disobedience, which is a central theme in the book of Judges, as seen in passages like Judges 2:10-23 and Judges 21:25, and is addressed through the ministry of judges like Gideon, who is introduced in the following verses.
Reflection Questions
- What are some 'gods of the Amorites' that I may be fearing or prioritizing in my own life, and how can I turn my focus back to the one true God?
- How does remembering God's identity and past actions, as in Judges 6:8-9, help me to trust and obey Him in the present?
- In what ways do I need to be reminded of God's presence and power in my life, and how can I cultivate a deeper awareness of His presence?
- What are some ways that fear of other 'gods' or powers can hold me back from obeying God and experiencing His blessings, and how can I overcome those fears?

Trapp's Commentary on Judges 6:10
Judges 6:10 And I said unto you, I [am] the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.Ver. 10. Fear not the gods.] As true religion hath fear of piety for its foundation, so superstition hath its fear of that deity which it faneieth, and is therefore called δεισιδαιμονια. “ Primus in orbe Deos fecit Timor.”
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 6:10
(10) The gods of the Amorites.—See Joshua 24:15; 1 Kings 21:26. As the Amorites seem to have been the highlanders of Palestine, and the most powerful of all the Canaanitish tribes, their name is sometimes used for that of all the Canaanites (Joshua 24:15). Thus Heber says:— “As when five monarchs led to Gibeon’s fight In rude array the harnessed Amorite.” No deliverance can be promised till repentance has begun. When the warnings of the prophet are heeded the mission of the deliverer begins.
Barnes' Notes on Judges 6:10
A similar use of the name Amorite, instead of the more usual name Canaanite, occurs in Joshua 24:15, Joshua 24:18.
Whedon's Commentary on Judges 6:10
10. Gods of the Amorites — The word Amorites is here, as in Genesis 15:16, and Joshua 24:15, put for the whole of the Canaanitish tribes. Their idol gods they were not to fear.
