1 Korintus 10:20
Konteks10:20 No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice 4 is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.
[22:20] 1 tn Heb “not to Yahweh.”
[22:20] 2 tn The verb חָרַם (kharam) means “to be devoted” to God or “to be banned.” The idea is that it would be God’s to do with as he liked. What was put under the ban was for God alone, either for his service or for his judgment. But it was out of human control. Here the verb is saying that the person will be utterly destroyed.
[32:17] 3 tn Heb “your fathers.”
[10:20] 4 tn Grk “what they sacrifice”; the referent (the pagans) is clear from the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.
