Amos 5:25 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 5:25

Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings
No; they were not offered to God, but to devils, to the golden calf, and to the host of heaven: so their fathers did in the wilderness forty years;
where sacrifices were omitted during that time, a round number for a broken one, it being about thirty eight years; and these their children were imitators of them, and offered sacrifice to idols too, and therefore deserved punishment as they: even ye, O house of Israel?
the ten tribes, who are here particularly charged and threatened; (See Gill on Acts 7:42).

Amos 5:25 In-Context

23 Tue den Lärm deiner Lieder von mir hinweg, und das Spiel deiner Harfen mag ich nicht hören.
24 Aber das Recht wälze sich einher wie Wasser, und die Gerechtigkeit wie ein immerfließender Bach!
25 Habt ihr mir vierzig Jahre in der Wüste Schlachtopfer und Speisopfer dargebracht, Haus Israel?
26 Ja, ihr habt die Hütte eures Königs und das Gestell eurer Götzenbilder getragen, das Sternbild eures Gottes, die ihr euch gemacht hattet.
27 So werde ich euch jenseit Damaskus wegführen, spricht Jehova, Gott der Heerscharen ist sein Name.
