² tn Heb “sacrifice.” This has been translated as “offer” for stylistic reasons to avoid the redundancy of “sacrifice their sacrifices.”

³ tn On “goat demons” of the desert regions see the note on Lev 16:8.

⁴ tn Heb “which they are committing harlotry after them.”

⁵ tn Heb “for your generations.”

⁶ tn Heb “in” (so KJV, ASV; also later in this verse).

⁷ tn Heb “fathers’” (also in the following verse).
