The expression, “For three sins…even for four…” is a Hebrew numeric parallelism, the numbers are in fact poetic figures signifying that the people’s sins were many. As humans, we like to put sins in boxes and categories. Sins can be big or small – justified or not – politically correct – or what this modern culture is allowing currently. We also view sins differently depending on who’s involved…a movie star, a politician, a close family member, or our self. But to the Lord a sin is a sin…one sin doesn’t out weigh another…they are all totally equal in His eyes.
