7:23I also explicitly commanded them:53 “Obey me. If you do, I54 will be your God and you will be my people. Live exactly the way I tell you55 and things will go well with you.”
Footnotes
- 53 Verses 22–23a read in Hebrew, “I did not speak with your ancestors and I did not command them when I brought them out of Egypt about words/matters concerning burnt offering and sacrifice, but I commanded them this word:” Some modern commentators have explained this passage as an evidence for the lateness of the Pentateuchal instruction regarding sacrifice or a denial that sacrifice was practiced during the period of the wilderness wandering. However, it is better explained as an example of what R. de Vaux calls a dialectical negative, i.e., “not so much this as that” or “not this without that” (Ancient Israel, 454–56). For other examples of this same argument see Isa 1:10–17; Hos 6:4–6; Amos 5:21–25.
- 54 Heb “Obey me and I will be.” The translation is equivalent syntactically but brings out the emphasis in the command.
- 55 Heb “Walk in all the way that I command you.”
