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 Doe het getier uwer liederen van Mij weg; ook mag Ik uw luiten spel niet horen.
24 Maar laat het oordeel zich daarhenen wenden als de wateren, en de gerechtigheid als een sterke beek.
25 Hebt gij Mij veertig jaren in de woestijn slachtofferen en spijsoffer toegebracht, o huis Israels?
26 Ja, gij droegt de tent van uw Melech, en den Kijun, uw beelden, de ster uws gods, dien gij uzelf hadt gemaakt.
27 Daarom zal Ik ulieden gevankelijk wegvoeren, ver boven Damaskus henen, zegt de HEERE, Wiens Naam is God der heirscharen.
