We promised to make sacrifices to the Queen of Heaven. {\cf2\super [357]} And we will do everything we promised. We will offer sacrifices and pour out drink offerings in worship to her. We did that in the past. And our ancestors, our kings, and our officials did that in the past. All of us did those things in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At the time we worshiped the Queen of Heaven, we had plenty of food. We were successful. Nothing bad happened to us.
“Tell the people of Israel: A person might make a special promise to the Lord. That person might promise to give a person to the Lord. {That person will then serve the Lord in a special way.} The priest must set a price for that person. {People will have to pay that price if they want to buy the person back from the Lord.}
