Footnotes
*Sherirut libam* (שְׁרִרוּת לִבָּם, "stubbornness of heart") — *sherirut* suggests a hardened, self-willed determination; the heart set firm against God rather than toward Him. *Ha-Ba'alim* (הַבְּעָלִים, "the Baals") — the plural reflects the proliferation of Canaanite storm and fertility deities worshipped across the land. The tragedy is intergenerational: idolatry was not merely chosen but taught — a learned, inherited covenant betrayal.
