UTN uW Translation Notes:

General Information:

In these verses, “you” and “your” refer to the people of Judah.

Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues giving Jeremiah his message to the people of Judah.

(Occurrence 0) Yahweh of hosts … says this

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels god Yisrael burnt_offerings,your_all's add on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sacrifices,your_all's and,eat flesh/meat )

Jeremiah often uses these words to introduce an important message from Yahweh. See how you translated this in Jeremiah 6:6.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

(Occurrence 0) Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and the meat from them

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels god Yisrael burnt_offerings,your_all's add on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sacrifices,your_all's and,eat flesh/meat )

This is an ironic statement emphasizing that none of their sacrifices were acceptable to Yahweh. Alternate translation: “Go ahead and eat the burnt offerings along with your sacrifices and meat from them”
