Not Be Pleased with Burnt Offerings

Not Be Pleased with Burnt Offerings Excerpt The prayer ends with a recognition of the kind of sacrifice that God  approves of; God does not want dead animals burned on the altar or other  ritual sacrifices. In a typical way of speaking, the psalmist is not (as it might  appear) saying that God wants all sacrifices to cease; he is saying that God  prefers the  proper attitude which the offering of sacrifices should express and  represent (see similar sentiments in  50.8–9 ).  More Bratcher, Robert G., and William David Reyburn.  A Translator’s Handbook on the Book of Psalms .
