Isaías 1:12

12 Quando vindes para comparecerdes perante mim, quem requereu de vós isto, que viésseis pisar os meus átrios?

Isaías 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:12

When ye come to appear before me
At the grand festivals of the passover, pentecost, and tabernacles, at which times all the males in Israel appeared before God, ( Exodus 23:17 ) who hath required this at your hand;
either to appear at such times, these feasts being no more to be observed; or to offer the above sacrifices; these were not required of the Israelites when they first came out of Egypt, ( Jeremiah 7:22 ) nor were they necessary to appear before God with, or to introduce them to the throne of his grace, ( Micah 6:6 Micah 6:7 ) and much less under the Gospel dispensation, being abolished by the sacrifice of Christ; or this relates to what follows, to tread my courts?
in that unbecoming and hypocritical way they did, and with such wicked hearts and bloody hands. "Courts" are mentioned, because, as Kimchi observes, the Israelites stood in the courts of the Lord's house, and did not go into the temple, only the priests.

Isaías 1:12 In-Context

10 Ouvi a palavra do Senhor, governadores de Sodoma; dai ouvidos � lei do nosso Deus, ó povo de Gomorra.

11 De que me serve a mim a multidão de vossos sacrifícios? diz o Senhor. Estou farto dos holocaustos de carneiros, e da gordura de animais cevados; e não me agrado do sangue de novilhos, nem de cordeiros, nem de bodes.

12 Quando vindes para comparecerdes perante mim, quem requereu de vós isto, que viésseis pisar os meus átrios?

13 Não continueis a trazer ofertas vãs; o incenso é para mim abominação. As luas novas, os sábados, e a convocação de assembléias ... não posso suportar a iniqüidade e o ajuntamento solene!

14 As vossas luas novas, e as vossas festas fixas, a minha alma as aborrece; já me são pesadas; estou cansado de as sofrer.
