1.0 KiB

Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us?

These questions are rebukes. AT: "We certainly all have one father, our God who created us!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?

This is also a rebuke. AT: "We should certainly not mistreat our brothers and disrespect God's covenant by disobeying his commands!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

dealt treacherously

disobeyed God

For Judah has profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh

"The men of Judah have disrespected God's temple"

and has married the daughter of a foreign god

"and they have married women from other nations who worship idols."

any descendant of the man that does this

"any of the man's children and grandchildren who also behave this way"

even one who brings an offering to Yahweh of Hosts

"even if the sinful man brings an offering to God but has not repented of his sin"
