BSB
ASV
Turn ye unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
KJV
Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
Turn ye unto him,.... From the Egyptians, to whom they sought for help, unto the Lord, they had neglected; from evil ways and practices, idolatry and impiety, by repentance and reformation; to the true worship of God, to his word and ordinances, statutes and commands. The Targum is, "turn to the law;'' which they had rejected and broken.
Have deeply revolted “Have so deeply engaged in revolt” - All the ancient Versions read תעמיקו taamiku, in the second person, instead of העמיקו heemiku, they have deeply revolted, etc.
