SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–14: The Israelites will be punished for rejecting the LORD

In this section, the LORD warned the nation of Israel that enemies were ready to attack them, because they had rejected him and broken their agreement to obey his laws (8:1–3). They disobeyed him by choosing their own leaders (8:4a–b) and making idols (8:4c–6). Their alliance with Assyria failed, and they became weak agriculturally and also politically as a nation. Verse 8:10 predicts their future punishment as slaves in Assyria (8:7–10). The LORD did not accept the sacrifices they offered to him, because they continued to sin, so their cities faced total destruction (11–14).The TN analysis of this section follows the paragraph divisions used in a majority of English versions. The summary combines ideas from McComiskey (page 118), Davies (page 193), and Stuart (pages 126–127).

Here are some other examples of section headings:

The Lord Will Punish Israel for Its Rebellion (GW)

The LORD warned Israel that enemies would attack them

Warning that Israel will be Punished

Throughout this section, the LORD is the speaker. He referred to himself using first person pronouns (“I/me/my”) except for verse 13b–d, which has “he.” In this section, the Hebrew text almost always uses “they” or “he/it” to refer to the people or nation of Israel. The only exceptions are 8:1 and 8:5, which use the pronoun “your.” The CEV uses “you/your” consistently to refer to Israel. Most other versions use third person pronouns. The Display will follow the BSB pronoun choice in the first meaning line. It will often use “you/your” in the second meaning line.

Paragraph 8:11–14

This paragraph describes how the people of Israel sinned when they offered sacrifices to the LORD. There is a contrast between the many altars that the people built for sinning (8:11) and the many teachings that the LORD wrote for the people’s good (8:12). In both situations, the people rejected what God wanted them to do. As a result, the LORD did not accept their sacrifices (8:13), so their cities faced total destruction (8:14).

8:13a–b

The first two lines contrast the sacrifices that the people offered to the LORD with the LORD’s refusal to accept them.

13aThough they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat,

13band the LORD does not accept them.

8:13a

Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat,

Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me: There is a textual issue with the Hebrew word that the BSB translates as gifts to Me:The Hebrew word habhabay occurs only here in the Old Testament.

  1. This word in the Masoretic Text comes from a verb that means “give.” The whole phrase is literally “the sacrifices of my gifts.” This phrase means that the sacrifices that the people offered to the LORD are their gifts to him. For example:

    They offer up sacrificial gifts to me (NET) (BSB, ESV, GNT, GW, KJV, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NJPS, NRSV)The ESV, GNT, GW, NJPS, and NRSV do not specifically use the words “gifts” or “given,” but in the context of offering sacrifices, it is clearly implied that the sacrifices are given or offered to the LORD.

  2. Some scholars think that this word comes from a verb that means “love.” They propose that the original Hebrew phrase meant that the people love to offer sacrifices.This proposed phrase requires two different words in the Masoretic Text. Instead of the construct form “sacrifices of” in the MT, the proposed word is the absolute form “sacrifices.” And instead of the noun with 1st person singular suffix “my gifts” in the MT, the proposal is to use the verb plus 3rd person plural suffix, “they love.” For example:

    They love sacrifice (RSV) (NLT, RSV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). It provides the most straightforward understanding of the Masoretic Text and does not require changes to the words.

In the Hebrew clause “they sacrifice the sacrifices of my gifts,” the phrase “sacrifices of my gifts” is the topic of the sentence.

Here are some ways to focus the reader’s attention on this topic:

As for My sacrificial gifts (NASB)

Concerning the gifts that the people offer to me

Some versions leave it implicit that the sacrifices were gifts to the LORD. For example, the NJB does not use the word gifts explicitly. It has:

They offer sacrifices to me

and though they eat the meat: This whole statement (8:13a) probably implies that the people were not sincere when they offered these sacrifices to the LORD. They cared only about eating the meat of the animals that they offered.Hubbard (page 153), Keil (page 117), and Wood (page 202). Some versions make explicit this implied information. For example:

When they present sacrifices to Me, It is but flesh for them to eat (NJPS)

8:13b

the LORD does not accept them.

the LORD does not accept them: There are two ways to interpret the referent of the pronoun them:

  1. The word them refers to the sacrifices. The LORD was not pleased with the sacrifices that the people offered.Keil (page 117) and Stuart (page 136). For example:

    but I, the Lord, do not accept these sacrifices. (GW) (CEV, GW, NET, NLT)

  2. The word them refers to the people. The LORD was not pleased with the people who were making the sacrifices.Andersen and Freedman (page 510) and McComiskey (page 133). For example:

    They offer sacrifices to me and eat the meat, they do not win Yahweh’s favour. (NJB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). Many versions, including the BSB, leave the pronoun referent implicit. In these versions, either interpretation is possible.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

but I, the Lord, refuse your offerings (CEV)

but to me their sacrifices are all meaningless. (NLT)

8:13c

Now He will remember their iniquity

8:13d

and punish their sins:

8:13c–d

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

13cNow He will remember their iniquity

13dand punish their sins:

Now: This word indicates here that it is time for the LORD to judge.

He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: In this context, these words mean that he will respond to their disobedience in an appropriate way.McComiskey (page 133). His response will be to punish them for their sins.

8:13e

They will return to Egypt.

They will return to Egypt: This clause tells how the LORD will punish the people. It should probably be understood figuratively as a return to slavery. It means that the people will become slaves again.McComiskey (page 133), Stuart (page 137), Wood (page 202), Hubbard (page 153), and Keil (page 117). It does not mean here that the people will literally return to Egypt.

uW Translation Notes:

General Information:

Yahweh is speaking.

(Occurrence 0) They will return to Egypt

(Some words not found in UHB: sacrifices_of my_gifts_of,my offer flesh/meat and,they_ate_[it] YHWH not he,is_pleased_with_them now remember iniquity_of,their and,he_will_punish sins_of,their they(emph) Miʦrayim/(Egypt) return )

Because of their sin, God will send his people away as slaves to the Egyptians.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:13 I do not accept their sacrifices: See 6:6; Isa 1:10-17; Amos 5:21-24; Mic 6:6-8.
• They will return to Egypt, the place of slavery (Deut 28:68). God’s dealings with Israel did not end with judgment. The divine purpose of judgment was to restore Israel to the status they had when they came out of Egypt, so that they could experience a new beginning (see Hos 2:14-15).
