The First Commandment forbids idolatry. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods or demons (for example, satanism), power, pleasure, race, ancestors, the state, money, etc. In the lands that surrounded Israel, there were many who worshiped false gods including the Egyptians. Later the Jews had to deal with the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses worshiped by their Governors and occupying forces. Today people put many things in front of God in their lives including money (gold), status, self, power, etc. For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 2083 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt1.htm#art1 With love in Christ.
