Samuel said, “Does YHWH delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as obeying YHWH’s voice? Look! To obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen is better than the fat of rams.
and to love ʜɪᴍ with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
