32:16 They made him jealous with other gods, 1
they enraged him with abhorrent idols. 2
32:17 They sacrificed to demons, not God,
to gods they had not known;
to new gods who had recently come along,
gods your ancestors 3 had not known about.
1 tc Heb “with strange (things).” The Vulgate actually supplies diis (“gods”).
2 tn Heb “abhorrent (things)” (cf. NRSV). A number of English versions understand this as referring to “idols” (NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV), while NLT supplies “acts.”
3 tn Heb “your fathers.”
