What does Jeremiah 32:34-35 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

They had defiled the temple precincts by placing images of idols there, and had built places of worship for Baal in the Hinnom Valley. They had even practiced child sacrifice there, something that Yahweh had not even imagined, let alone commanded. The Lord"s disclaimer hints that some of the people may have been claiming that child sacrifice fulfilled His law. ^[1]
