3:13However, you must confess that you have done wrong,28

You must confess29 that you have given yourself to30 foreign gods under every green tree,

and have not obeyed my commands,’ says the Lord.

Footnotes

  1. 28 Heb “Only acknowledge your iniquity.”
  2. 29 The words “You must confess” are repeated to convey the connection. The Hebrew text has an introductory “that” in front of the second line and a coordinative “and” in front of the next two lines.
  3. 30 reads דְּרָכַיִךְ (dérakhayikh, “your ways”), but the editors suggest דּוֹדַיִךְ (dodayikh, “your breasts”) as an example of orthographic confusion. While the proposal makes sense, it remains a conjectural emendation since it is not supported by any actual manuscripts or ancient versions. Heb “scattered your ways with foreign [gods]” or “spread out your breasts to strangers.”
