34:16But then you turned right around28 and showed that you did not honor me.29 Each of you took back your male and female slaves whom you had freed as they desired, and you forced them to be your slaves again.30
Footnotes
- 28 The verb at the beginning of v. 15 and v. 16 are the same in the Hebrew. They had two changes of heart (Heb “you turned”), one that was pleasing to him (Heb “right in his eyes”) and one that showed they did not honor him (Heb “profaned [or belittled] his name”).
- 29 Heb “you profaned my name.” His name had been invoked in the oath confirming the covenant. Breaking the covenant involved taking his name in vain (cf. Exod 20:7; Deut 5:11; Jer 5:2). Hence the one who bore the name was not treated with the special honor and reverence due him (see the study note on for the significance of “name” in the OT).
- 30 Heb “and you brought them into subjection to be to you for male and female slaves.” See the translator’s note on v. for the same redundant repetition which is not carried over into the contemporary English sentence.
