Commentary on Exodus 34:15
God reiterates the warning against covenants with Canaanites, explaining the mechanism of apostasy: social covenant leads to worship participation, which leads to sexual/spiritual prostitution (זָנָה, zanah—the term for both literal and spiritual harlotry). The phrase 'gods of the land' emphasizes the territorial nature of ancient paganism. Eating sacrificial meals created covenant bonds with the deity.
