Then Samuel said:

Does the Lord

take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices

as much as in obeying the Lord?

Look: to obey is better than sacrifice,
to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.

You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before Me.

You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it;
You are not pleased with a burnt offering.

For I desire loyalty and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

And to love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is far more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

General references

one young bull, one ram, and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering;

“On the second day present 12 young bulls, two rams, and 14 male lambs a year old—all unblemished—

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before Me.

Doing what is righteous and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
