## translationNotes

* Yahweh continues giving Ezekiel his message to the elders of Israel.
* **Then I also gave them statutes that were not good, and decrees by which they could not live** - The words statutes in this phrase do not refer to God's law. God permitted them to live by human laws and judgments that were not good.
* **gave them** - The word "them" refers to the children of those whom Yahweh brought out of Egypt.
* **by their gifts** - AT: "by the gifts that they gave me." (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_explicit]])
