But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel.

I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he- goats out of thy folds.

And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt- offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt- offering.

And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt- offering.

For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt- offerings.

Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt- offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt- offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt- offerings or sacrifices:

whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:

and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt- offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah: I have had enough of the burnt- offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he- goats.When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,— I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them.And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

He sitteth in the lurking- places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.He saith in his heart: God hath forgotten; He hideth his face, he will never see it.Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?

And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew not man. And it was a custom in Israel,
