| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “sacrifice.” This has been translated as “offer” for stylistic reasons to avoid the redundancy of “sacrifice their sacrifices.” 2 tn On “goat demons” of the desert regions see the note on Lev 16:8. 3 tn Heb “which they are committing harlotry after them.” 4 tn Heb “for your generations.” |
