  • 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)
