Jehovah is here portrayed as taking the sins of a repentant wrongdoer and throwing them behind Him where He neither sees them nor takes notice of them anymore.
Di ayat itu, Yehuwa digambarkan seolah - olah mengambil dosa - dosa si pelaku kesalahan yang bertobat dan melemparkan semuanya itu ke belakang - Nya sehingga Ia tidak melihat ataupun memperhatikannya lagi.
