Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

Then shall it be for a man to burn ... he ... baketh bread. The same tree that furnishes the material for the god is in part, used as fuel for a fire to cook his meals with and warm himself!

He maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto - rather, 'he falleth down before them,' i:e., such images; lamo, not lo (Maurer).
