(4) Ye shall do my judgments.--The expression "my judgments and mine ordinances" is here used emphatically, in opposition to "their ordinances," and has here the force of Mine only; just as the phrase "Him shalt thou serve" (Deuteronomy 6:13) is explained by Christ "Him only shalt thou serve" (Matthew 4:10).
