And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass. They gave their hands - They bound themselves in the most solemn manner to do as the rest of the delinquents had done; and they made all acknowledgment of their iniquity to God by offering each a ram for a trespass-offering.
