Proverbs 21:3 Cross References - Rotherham

³ To do righteousness and justice, is more choice to Yahweh than sacrifice.

²² Then said Samuel––Doth that which is pleasing unto Yahweh consist in ascending–offerings and sacrifices, So much as in hearkening unto the voice of Yahweh? Lo! to hearken, is, better, than, sacrifice. And, to give heed, than, the fat of rams;

⁸ Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending–offerings, before me continually:

¹¹ Of what use to me, is your multitude of sacrifices? Saith Yahweh: I am sated with ascending–offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts,––In the blood of bulls and young rams and he–goats, have I no pleasure. ¹² When ye enter to see my face, Who hath required this at your hand, trampling my courts? ¹³ Ye shall not again, bring in an empty, present, Incense, an abomination, is that, unto me! New moon, and sabbath, calling an assembly––I cannot endure, iniquity and sacred festival! ¹⁴ Your new moons, and your appointed feasts, my soul, hateth,––They have become unto me a burden I am too weary to bear: ¹⁵ Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply, prayers, I am not hearkening,––Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.
¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean, Put away the wickedness of your doings from before mine eyes,––Cease to do evil. ¹⁷ Learn to do well––Seek justice, Correct the oppressor,––Vindicate the fatherless, Plead the cause of the widow.

²¹ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel,––Your ascending–offerings, add ye unto your peace–offerings, and eat ye flesh. ²² For I bade not your fathers, Neither commanded I them, In the day I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,––Concerning the matter of ascending–offering and peace–offering; ²³ But, this thing, I commanded them––saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you––a God, And, ye, shall become unto me––a people,––Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end it may be well with you;

⁶ For, lovingkindness, I desired, and not sacrifice,––and the knowledge of God, more than ascending–offerings.

⁶ Wherewith, shall I come before Yahweh? bow myself to God on high? Shall I come before him with ascending–sacrifice? with calves of a year old? ⁷ Will Yahweh, be pleased, with thousands of rams? with myriads of torrents of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression? the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? ⁸ He hath told thee, O son of earth, what is good,––what then is, Yahweh, seeking of thee, but, to do justice, to delight in lovingkindness, and humbly to walk with thy God?

³³ And, to love him, with all the heart, and with all the understanding,––and with all the might; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
