Study Note

'Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.' The 'jealousy' (qanna') of God — a term never used of human jealousy in the Hebrew Bible — expresses the exclusive covenantal claim that makes idolatry a form of covenant infidelity analogous to marital unfaithfulness. The generational consequences ('third and fourth generation') have provoked debate: they describe the sociological reality that sin's consequences propagate through family and culture, not a mechanical fate applied to innocent descendants (Ezekiel 18:20 explicitly rejects the latter interpretation).
