NETBible

If, however, the people of the land shut their eyes to that man when he gives some of his children to Molech so that they do not put him to death,

NET Notes

tn Heb “And if shutting [infinitive absolute] they shut [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

tn Heb “from that man” (so ASV); NASB “disregard that man.”
