For what do their sins join with their fathers' sins?

1.

Rashi: I will pay you for both of them together.

2.

Radak: They joined to lengthen your Galus.

3.

Malbim: The fathers were punished only for their sin, for they sinned openly "on mountains and hills." The children are punished for their sins and their fathers', for they sinned [covertly] in gardens, graves and places of carcasses (4).

2)

Why does it specify Haktarah?

1.

Radak: That evil deed, they denied Me and served idolatry.

2.

Malbim: Haktarah was on mountains, and blasphemy on hills.

3)

Why does it say "Cherefuni"?

1.

Radak: When they served idolatry on the hills, they blasphemed, disgraced and denied Me. I commanded not to serve idolatry, for one who does so denies Hashem.

4)

What is the meaning of "u'Madosi Fe'ulasam Rishonah El Cheikam"?

1.

Radak: First I will measure their actions to them themselves, and afterwards to their children.

2.

Malbim: First I will punish this generation for their own sins - it was greater, for they feigned piety - and afterwards for their fathers'.
