"There can be only One"

Shemoth 23:13: "Be careful about everything that I have said to you, and do not recall the name of other gods - it shall not be heard upon your mouth."

Rashi: "'Be careful about everything that I have said to you and do not recall the name of other gods' - This teaches that false worship is equal to abrogation of the totality of all the commandments. Conversely, one who is watchful against it is as one who observes all the commandments."
