NETBible

“If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and becomes another man’s wife, he may not take her back again.¹ Doing that would utterly defile the land.² But you, Israel, have given yourself as a prostitute to many gods.³ So what makes you think you can return to me?”⁴ says the Lord.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “May he go back to her again?” The question is rhetorical and expects a negative answer.

¹sn For the legal background for the illustration that is used here see Deut 24:1-4.

²tn Heb “Would the land not be utterly defiled?” The stative is here rendered actively to connect better with the preceding. The question is rhetorical and expects a positive answer.

³tn Heb “But you have played the prostitute with many lovers.”

⁴tn Heb “Returning to me.” The form is the bare infinitive which the KJV and ASV have interpreted as an imperative “Yet, return to me!” However, it is more likely that a question is intended, expressing surprise in the light of the law alluded to and the facts cited. For the use of the infinitive absolute in the place of a finite verb, cf. GKC 346 §113.ee. For the introduction of a question without a question marker, cf. GKC 473 §150.a.
