SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:4–7:16: The people persisted in their sins

In this section, the LORD again spoke to the people of Israel and Judah. In contrast to the people’s future repentance (6:1–3), he gave examples of their current disloyalty and corruption, including their reliance on other nations instead of him. They continued to commit sins, and they refused to seek him. He announced that he would judge them, and he illustrated his coming judgment in various ways.

In this section, the Hebrew text sometimes uses second person pronouns (“you”) and sometimes third person pronouns (“they” or “he”) to refer to the people of Israel. The BSB follows the Hebrew pronoun usage. It uses “they” in 6:5–10, “you” in 6:4 & 11, and “they” or “he” in 7:1–16. Throughout these verses the LORD is the speaker, and he either addresses the people directly or speaks about them.

English versions all use “you” in 6:11 and “they” in chapter 7, but they differ in the way they use the pronouns in 6:5–10. You should use the most natural and least confusing way in your language to handle the pronouns in 6:5–10. In 6:7–10, the Display will follow the BSB pronoun choice in the first meaning line and give another pronoun choice in the second meaning line. See the note on “you” in 2:16b–c, where the pronoun changes are similar.

Here are some other examples of section headings:

Transitory Faithfulness and Imminent Judgment (NET)

Impenitence of Israel and Judah (NRSV)

Paragraph 6:7–7:2

In this paragraph, the LORD gave examples of how the people of Israel had failed to know him and had failed to show love to him and others.

6:8

Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.

Gilead is also a city filled with evil people. Everywhere they walk they leave bloody footprints.
And you^(plur) people in the city of Gilead are wicked murderers.

Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood: This verse indicates that many evil people lived in the city of Gilead. Many of them were murderers.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

Gilead is a city full of evildoers (NET)

tracked with footprints of blood: This phrase is a metaphor. It means that many people murdered others there. Many versions keep the metaphor. For example:

their footprints are bloody (NCV)

its streets are stained with bloody footprints (NET)

Some versions translate the meaning directly. For example:

Gilead is a city full of evil people and murderers (GNT)
