NETBible

But God turned away from them and gave them over¹ to worship the host² of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘It was not to me that you offered slain animals and sacrifices³ forty years in the wilderness, was it,⁴ house of Israel?

NET Notes

¹sn The expression and gave them over suggests similarities to the judgment on the nations described by Paul in Rom 1:18-32.

²tn Or “stars.”

²sn To worship the hosts of heaven. Their action violated Deut 4:19; 17:2-5. See Ps 106:36-43.

³tn The two terms for sacrifices “semantically reinforce one another and are here combined essentially for emphasis” (L&N 53.20).

⁴tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative reply which is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ question, “was it?”
