541) “And in all the things that I have said to you, be watchful,” meaning I have elaborated to you about My work; be watchful that nothing bad comes to you. “Be watchful” only of My watching and guarding, and do not mention the name of other gods. Another interpretation for “Do not mention the name of other gods,” do not wander, for you will fall among the nations in another land and the words “And there you shall serve other gods” will come true in you.
542) “And in all the things that I have said to you, be watchful.” “Hear, My people, and I will admonish you.” “Let there be no strange god among you.” “I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.” David said these verses in the spirit of holiness, and they should be examined. “Hear, My people.” The Torah warned man in several places. In several places does the Creator warn man, and it is all for man’s benefit, so he will keep the Mitzvot of the Torah, for all who keep the ways of Torah and engage in it, it is as though they engage in the holy name.
543) The whole of the Torah is the name of the Creator. One who engages in it, it is as though he engages in the holy name, since the whole of the Torah is one holy name, a superior name, a name that includes all other names. And one who withdraws a single letter from it, it is as though he put a blemish in the holy name. “And do not mention the name of other gods.” Do not add to the Torah and do not withdraw from it, for he makes a flaw in the holy name and strengthens the other gods. The name “other gods” is one who engages in other books, which are not on the side of Torah. “Nor let them be heard from your mouth,” meaning it is forbidden to even mention them and learn any reasoning from them, especially reasoning that regards the Torah.
