1 tn Heb “The man who escapes from the men whom I am bringing into your hands, [it will be] his life in place of his life.”
2 tn Or “covenant.”
3 sn That is, the descendants of Jacob/Israel (see v. 35b).
4 tn Heb “and outstretched arm.”
5 tn Or “burned incense.”
6 tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The translation assumes that this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods,” as well as 19:18). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”
