Footnotes
יִתְגּוֹדָדוּ (yitgōdᵉdû) — 'they gash/cut themselves' — from גָּדַד (gādad), the ritual self-laceration of Baal worship (cf. 1 Kings 18:28; Deut. 14:1, where Israel is explicitly forbidden this practice). Some manuscripts read יִתְגּוֹרָרוּ ('they assemble/gather'), but the MT reading sharpens the polemic: their so-called prayer is Baalistic cultic performance. דָּגָן (grain) and תִּירוֹשׁ (new wine) were Baal's supposed domain — they cry to him for what YHWH alone provides.
