11. [12] Is there aven (iniquity) in Gil`ad? Surely they are vanity; they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their mizbechot are as piles of stones in the furrows of the fields.
12. [13] And Ya'akov fled into the country of Aram, and Yisroel served for an isha, and for an isha he was shomer [over sheep].
13. [14] And by a navi Hashem brought Yisroel out of Mitzrayim, and shomer [Yisroel] a navi was.
14. [15] Ephrayim has provoked bitter anger; therefore shall He leave his blood-guiltiness upon him, and his scorn shall Adonoi of him return and repay unto him.
