Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children.--There are no sins which so surely entail penal consequences upon succeeding generations as the abominations of idolatry. All idolatry means the degradation of the Divine image in man. But it is not meant here that the soul of the son shall die for the father. The penalty extends only "to them that hate me."Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewYou shall notלֹא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nobow downתִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥֣ה (ṯiš·ta·ḥă·weh)Verb - Hitpael - Imperfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 7812: To depress, prostrateto themלָהֶ֖ם֮ (lā·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's Hebrew or worship them;תָעָבְדֵ֑ם֒ (ṯā·‘ā·ḇə·ḏêm)Verb - Hofal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5647: To work, to serve, till, enslaveforכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionI,אָנֹכִ֞י (’ā·nō·ḵî)Pronoun - first person common singularStrong's 595: Ithe LORDיְהוָ֤ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelyour God,אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ (’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā)Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeam a jealousקַנָּ֔א (qan·nā)Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 7067: JealousGod,אֵ֣ל (’êl)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 410: Strength -- as adjective, mighty, the Almightyvisitingפֹּ֠קֵד (pō·qêḏ)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 6485: To visit, to oversee, muster, charge, care for, miss, depositthe iniquityעֲוֺ֨ן (‘ă·wōn)Noun - common singular constructStrong's 5771: Iniquity, guilt, punishment for iniquityof the fathersאָב֧וֹת (’ā·ḇō·wṯ)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 1: Fatheronעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againsttheir children,בָּנִ֛ים (bā·nîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 1121: A sonto the thirdשִׁלֵּשִׁ֥ים (šil·lê·šîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 8029: Pertaining to the thirdand fourth [generations]רִבֵּעִ֖ים (rib·bê·‘îm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 7256: Pertaining to the fourthof those who hate Me,לְשֹׂנְאָֽ֑י׃ (lə·śō·nə·’āy)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct | first person common singularStrong's 8130: To hateJump to PreviousBow Children Hate Iniquity Jealous Punishing Serve Sin Third Thyself Visiting Worship
