NET Notes

¹tn Heb “you journey with oil.”

²tn Heb “the king.” Since the context refers to idolatry and child sacrifice (see v. 5), some emend מֶלֶך (melekh, “king”) to “Molech.” Perhaps Israel’s devotion to her idols is likened here to a subject taking tribute to a ruler.

³tn Heb “and you multiply your perfumes.”

⁴sn Israel’s devotion to her idols is inordinate, irrational, and self-destructive.
