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 Toglimi d’appresso lo strepito delle tue canzoni, e fa’ ch’io non oda il concento de’ tuoi salterii.
24 Anzi corra il giudicio, a guisa d’acque; e la giustizia, a guisa di rapido torrente.
25 O casa d’Israele, mi offeriste voi sacrificii ed offerte nel deserto, per lo spazio di quarant’anni?
26 Anzi voi portaste il tabernacolo del vostro Melec, e l’effigie delle vostre immagini; la stella dei vostri dii, che voi vi avevate fatti.
27 Perciò, io vi farò andare in cattività di là da Damasco, ha detto il Signore, il cui Nome è: L’Iddio degli eserciti.
