NETBible

“Israel is not a slave, is he? He was not born into slavery, was he?¹ If not, why then is he being carried off?

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Is Israel a slave? Or is he a house born slave?” The questions are rhetorical, expecting a negative answer.

¹sn The Lord is here contrasting Israel’s lofty status as the Lord’s bride and special possession, which he had earlier reminded her of (see 2:2-3), with her current status of servitude to Egypt and Assyria.
