[21:22] 2 tn Heb “because of the provocation by which you angered [me], and you caused Israel to sin.”
[16:2] 3 tn The Hebrew text has “because” at the beginning of the sentence. In the Hebrew text vv. 2-3 are one sentence comprised of a causal clause giving the reason for divine punishment (v. 2) and the main clause announcing the punishment (v. 3). The translation divides this sentence for stylistic reasons.
