Thus saith the whole congregation Who do, and are resolved to cleave unto that God from whom you have revolted. What trespass is this that you have committed? How heinous a crime! To turn away this day That is, so soon after God hath obliged you by such wonderful favours, and when he is now conducting you home to reap the fruits of all your pains and hazards. In that you have builded you an altar For sacrifice, as they supposed. That ye might rebel With a design to rebel against God, and against his express command enjoining you to worship him at one only altar.
