- and I will:
- or, or I will, etc. Wehaaleetheehoo olah, rather, as Dr. Randolph and others contend, "and I will offer Him (or to Him, i.e., Jehovah) a burnt offering;" for hoo may with much more propriety be referred to the person to whom the sacrifice was to be made, than to the thing to be sacrificed. Unless understood in this way, or as the marginal reading, it must have been the vow of a heathen or a madman. If a dog, or other uncleaned animal had met him, he could not have made it a burnt offering; or if his neighbour's wife, sons, etc., his vow gave him no right over them. "And if¹ [it be] any¹ uncleanª beast,ª of which¹¹ they do not¹ offerª° a sacrificeª unto the LORD,ª then he shall presentª°¹ the beastª beforeª the priest:ª ... And the priestª shall valueª° it, whetherª it be goodª or² bad:ª as thou valuestª it, [who art] the priest,ª so¹ shall it be.¹" {Lev 27:11-12} + "Thou shalt not¹ bringª° the hireª of a whore,ª° or the priceª of a dog,ª into the houseª of the LORDª thy Godª for any¹ vow:ª for¹ even¹ bothª these [are] abominationª unto the LORDª thy God.ª" {Deu 23:18} + "I will goª° into thy houseª with burnt offerings:ª I will payª° thee my vows,ª" {Psa 66:13} + "He that killethª° an oxª [is as if] he slewª° a man;ª he that sacrificethª° a lamb,ª [as if] he cut off²° a dog's² neck;ª°¹ he that offerethª° an oblation,ª [as if he offered] swine'sª blood;ª he that burnethª° incense,ª [as if] he blessedª° an idol.ª Yea,¹ they¹ have chosenª° their own ways,ª and their soulª delightethª° in their abominations.ª" {Isa 66:3}
