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 Éloigne de moi le bruit de tes cantiques! Je ne veux pas entendre le son de tes luths.
24 Mais le jugement coulera comme de l'eau, et la justice comme un fleuve intarissable.
25 M'avez-vous présenté des sacrifices et des offrandes pendant quarante ans au désert, maison d'Israël?
26 Mais vous avez porté la tente de votre roi et le piédestal de vos idoles, l'étoile de votre dieu que vous vous étiez fait.
27 C'est pourquoi je vous transporterai au-delà de Damas, dit l'Éternel, dont le nom est le Dieu des armées.
