Exo 20:5 – יהוה warns against idolatry: ‘I am a jealous Ěl, visiting (פָּקַד / pâqad) the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the 3rd & 4th generations of those who hate Me.’
‘Visiting’ isn’t just punishment…it means to oversee, care for, attend to, even search out.
YAH isn’t distant; He’s zealous for us, visiting to see if we’ve awakened to the crookedness! He cares, calls, and confronts so we can repent and break the cycle.
Ezekiel 18 makes it clear: He doesn’t punish kids for parents’ sins if they turn to righteousness. Each stands on their own choices.
It’s a wake-up call against idolatry… but also an invitation to restoration and LIFE 🙌🕊️
