蓋我導爾列祖出埃及時、未嘗以燔祭及他祭命之、

昔我導爾祖出埃及、我諭以命、不第為燔祭禮物也、

昔我導爾列祖出伊及時、我未嘗命之獻火焚祭與他祭品、

For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices,

For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.

When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not burnt offerings and sacrifices I wanted from them.

for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice.

For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them on the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.

For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.

For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt- offerings or sacrifices:

for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice.

For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

Consider this: When I spoke to your ancestors after I brought them out of Egypt, I did not merely give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices.

For I didn’t speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices;

I want mercy and not sacrifice. I want you to recognize me as God instead of bringing me burnt offerings.

But Samuel replied,“ What pleases the Lord more? Burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obeying the Lord? It is better to obey than to offer a sacrifice. It is better to do what he says than to offer the fat of rams.

Go and learn what this means,‘ I want mercy and not sacrifice.’( Hosea 6:6) I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.”

You didn’t want sacrifices and offerings. You didn’t require burnt offerings and sin offerings. You opened my ears so that I could hear you and obey you.

You don’t take delight in sacrifice. If you did, I would bring it. You don’t take pleasure in burnt offerings.The greatest sacrifice you want is a broken spirit. God, you will gladly accept a heart that is broken because of sadness over sin.

I don’t bring charges against you because of your sacrifices. I don’t bring charges because of the burnt offerings you always bring me.I don’t need a bull from your barn. I don’t need goats from your pens.Every animal in the forest already belongs to me. And so do the cattle on a thousand hills.I own every bird in the mountains. The insects in the fields belong to me.If I were hungry, I wouldn’t tell you. The world belongs to me. And so does everything in it.Do I eat the meat of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats?Bring me thank offerings, because I am your God. Carry out the promises you made to me, because I am the Most High God.Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me.”But here is what God says to a sinful person.“ What right do you have to speak the words of my laws? How dare you speak the words of my covenant!You hate my teaching. You turn your back on what I say.

To love God with all your heart and mind and strength is very important. So is loving your neighbor as you love yourself. These things are more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
