Moses continues speaking to the people of Israel.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## have gone out from among you ##
|
||
|
|
||
|
The wicked men were Israelites.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## have drawn away the inhabitants of their city and said, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known ##
|
||
|
|
||
|
This can be translated as an indirect quotation. AT: "have persuaded those who live in their city to go and worship other gods that they have not known" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
|
||
|
|
||
|
## examine the evidence, make search, and investigate it thoroughly ##
|
||
|
|
||
|
All of these phrases mean basically the same thing. Moses is emphasizing that they must carefully find out what truly happened at the city.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## that such a detestable thing has been done among you ##
|
||
|
|
||
|
AT: "that the people of the city have done such a terrible thing" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
