The men of Judah were dealing with the wives of their youth treacherously and wondering why God would not accept their sacrifices. Also, people were not tithing as they should have been (Leviticus 27:30, 32).
Wanaume wa Yuda walikuwa wanashughulika na wake za vijana wao bila uaminifu na kushangaa kwa nini Mungu hangekubali dhabihu zao. Pia, watu walikuwa hawatoi fungu la kumi kama wanapaswa kutoa (Mambo ya Walawi 27:30, 32).
