16 Jehovah now said to Moses: “Look! You are lying down with your forefathers;+ and this people will certainly get up+ and have immoral intercourse* with foreign gods of the land to which they are going,+ in their very midst, and they will certainly forsake me+ and break my covenant that I have concluded with them.+

3 There is a saying: “If a man* should send away his wife* and she should actually go away from him and become another man’s, should he return to her anymore?”+
