I slaughter You a slaughtering of thanksgiving, And call upon the Name of יהוה.
Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my ears; Ascending offering and sin offering You did not ask for.
Whoever slaughters praise esteems Me; And to him who prepares a way, I show the deliverance of Elohim.
The slaughtering of the wrong ones Is an abomination to יהוה, But the prayer of the straight is His delight.
The slaughtering of the wrong is an abomination; How much more when he brings it with wickedness!
“Of what use to Me are your many slaughterings?” declares יהוה. “I have had enough of ascending offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats.
"But whoever slays the bull strikes a man; whoever slaughters the lamb breaks a dog’s neck; whoever brings a grain offering – pig’s blood; whoever burns incense blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways, and their being delights in their abominations.
Thus said יהוה to this people, “So they have loved to wander, they have not restrained their feet. Therefore יהוה has not accepted them. Now He does remember their crookedness and punish their sins.”
“What need have I of frankincense from Sheḇa, and sweet cane from a distant land? Your ascending offerings are not acceptable, and your slaughterings have not been sweet to Me.”
Thus said יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “Add your ascending offerings to your slaughterings and eat meat.
‘And this is the Torah of the slaughtering of peace offerings which is brought to יהוה.”
“Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I do not hear the sound of your stringed instruments.
“And now, entreat the face of Ěl to show favour to us. This has been done by your hands. Would He show favour to you?” said יהוה of hosts.
Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in ascending offerings and slaughterings, as in obeying the voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than a slaughtering, to heed is better than the fat of rams.
