The Key Word — רָעָתָם, ra'atangenerated
The word רָעָה (*ra'ah*) means evil or wickedness, referring to actions that are morally wrong. It describes a range of negative qualities, including distress and ethical wrongdoing. The form רָעָתָם specifically indicates 'their wickedness', suggesting a collective responsibility for the evil deeds committed.
This noun is in the construct state, showing a close relationship with the suffix indicating possession. The parsing indicates it is feminine singular, which aligns with the feminine nature of the moral qualities it describes. The frequency of this term in the Hebrew Bible highlights its significance in discussing moral and ethical behavior.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause of the verse is governed by the finite verb עָשׂוּ֙, they did, which introduces the actions that provoked God's anger. The structure includes several prepositional phrases that elaborate on the nature of these actions and their consequences.
The sentence's flow emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between the people's actions and God's response, with the verb appearing early in the sentence to highlight the primary focus on their wrongdoing.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew רָעָתָם is rendered as αὐτῶν, which translates to 'their' in Greek. This choice reflects a direct connection to the subject's actions, maintaining the focus on the people's moral failings.
The translation choice indicates a narrowing of the original term's moral implications, emphasizing possession rather than the broader ethical context present in the Hebrew.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 44:3 explains that God is angry because of the evil actions of the people. They have been burning incense and serving other gods that they, nor their ancestors, knew. This reflects a pattern of disobedience and idolatry that provokes God's displeasure.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
God refers to the immoral actions of the Israelites, particularly their worship of foreign gods and the burning of incense, which He views as a betrayal of their covenant.
Burning incense was a significant act of worship in the ancient Near East, and doing so to foreign gods was seen as a direct violation of God's commands.
By including 'your fathers', God emphasizes that this pattern of idolatry has persisted through generations, highlighting the deep-rooted nature of their disobedience.
This verse encapsulates the central theme of Jeremiah's prophecies, which warn against idolatry and call for repentance, stressing the consequences of turning away from God.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The Hebrew plural 'elohim is generally known as the plural of "majesty" and is the ordinary name for God. The meaning of the plural seems to be "plenitude of powers." It denotes the fullness of those attributes of power which belonged to the Divine Being. Thus it is usually translated in the singular, "God," when referring to the God of Israel. When reference is made to the gods of the other nations the word is translated in the plural, "gods." The heathen nations usually had a plurality of gods. Among the Semites it was customary for one nation or tribe to have its own particular god. Often there were many…
The words god and gods, Hebrew ELOHIM, are several times used in Scripture to express the power, office, or excellence of some created beings, as angels, magistrates, Ex 22:20,28 Ps 86:8 97:12; often also for the false gods of the heathen. These were exceedingly numerous, and are denoted by various terms, signifying vanity, falsehood, etc. Among the first objects to be deified were the sun, the moon, and the chief powers of nature. Innumerable animals, deceased men, all ages, passions, and conditions of man, and every thing which fear, lust, malice, pride, or caprice could suggest, were made objects of worship. The gods of modern India are numbered by millions.
