Exegesis
The resultant waʿăvadtem-šām {וַעֲבַדְתֶּם־שָׁם | wa-ʿă-ḇad-tem-šām} ‘and you shall serve there’ employs ʿābad in a ritual context, with the compound elohim ăḥērîm {אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים | ʼĕ-lō-hîm ʼă-ḥē-rîm} ‘foreign gods’ highlighting idolatry.
In context — Jeremiah 16:13
And I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will not grant you favor .
