Context of Deuteronomy 4:22
20But you are the people the Lord brought out of Egypt, the iron smelter, in order to make you his own people as you still are today. 21The Lord was angry with me because of you. So the Lord your God took an oath that I wouldn’t cross the Jordan River and enter the good land he is giving you as your property. I’m going to die in this land and not cross the Jordan River, but you’re going to go across and take possession of that good land. 23Be careful that you don’t forget the promise that the Lord your God made to you. Don’t make your own carved idols or statues that represent anything the Lord your God has forbidden. 24The Lord your God is a raging fire, a God who does not tolerate rivals.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 14-4015.
