To think like that is very displeasing with God, because He knows that He has brought the sickness, and He is all powerful. Israel chose to believe in God but also believed there were other powers acting in their lives, which they had to deal with by worshipping idols made to those powers.
Kufikiri kama hivyo ni kutompendeza Mungu kabisa, kwa kuwa anajua ya kuwa ameuleta ugonjwa, na ni mwenye uweza wote. Israeli walichagua kumwamini Mungu lakini pia waliamini kwamba zipo nguvu zingine zinzotenda kazi katika maisha yao, ambazo iliwabidi washughulike nazo kwa kuzitumikia na sanamu zilizoundwa na nguvu hizo.
