Amos 4:4 Summary
[Amos 4:4 is a call to examine our hearts and motives in worship, recognizing that God desires genuine devotion over empty rituals, as seen in verses like Psalm 51:17 where David acknowledges that a broken and contrite heart is what God desires.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Bethel and Gilgal in Amos 4:4?
Bethel and Gilgal were important worship centers in Israel, but in Amos 4:4, God is saying that even their worship has become corrupt, as seen in the emphasis on rituals over true devotion, much like the problem addressed in Matthew 15:8-9 where Jesus quotes Isaiah 29:13.
Why is God telling the people to continue in their sinful ways?
God is being sarcastic, saying that if the people insist on continuing in their sinful ways, they might as well go all the way and fully rebel against Him, as seen in the verse's context and similar passages like Ezekiel 20:39 where God speaks of the futility of idolatrous worship.
What does it mean to 'bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days'?
This phrase is highlighting the Israelites' focus on external religious rituals, such as making sacrifices and giving tithes, rather than genuinely seeking God and following His commands, similar to the issue Jesus addressed in Luke 11:42 where the Pharisees prioritized tithing over justice and love.
How does this verse relate to the concept of true worship?
This verse emphasizes that true worship is not just about going through the motions of religious rituals, but about genuinely seeking and obeying God, as seen in verses like John 4:24 where Jesus teaches that true worshipers will worship in spirit and truth.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I prioritize external religious rituals over genuine devotion to God, and how can I shift my focus?
- In what ways can I ensure that my worship is not just about going through the motions, but is instead a heartfelt expression of love and obedience to God?
- How can I avoid the mistake of the Israelites in Amos 4:4, who focused on rituals rather than relationship, and instead cultivate a deep and personal relationship with God?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be 'rebeling' against God, and how can I surrender those areas to Him?
Gill's Exposition on Amos 4:4
Come to Bethel and transgress,.... and what follows, are ironic and sarcastic speeches, not giving liberty to sin, but in this way reproving for it: Bethel was one of the places where the calves were
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Amos 4:4
Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years: Come to Beth-el, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Amos 4:4
Come to Beth-el, the known place of the moscholatria, calf-worship: see . And transgress: this clears it to be an irony, either throwing them up to their obstinate way of sinning, giving them over as hopeless and incorrigible sinners, or deriding their trust and dependence on idols, to which they sacrificed at Beth-el: See what will be the issue hereof, how you shall succeed herein. At Gilgal multiply transgression; Gilgal was a place also where much idolatry was acted: see 9:15 12:11. Since you will not be warned, go on, try whether God likes your sacrifices there as well as you like them, and whether they will be a means to preserve from judgments, or sins hastening judgments’ on you. Bring your sacrifices every morning: in the same irony God doth by Amos express his own displeasure, reprove their sin, and threaten it, though they imitate the instituted worship at Jerusalem, ,39 Numbers 28:3,4. And your tithes after three years; God had, , commanded every third year that all the tithe of that year should be brought, and laid up in a public storehouse; to this law, with the same irony, doth the prophet allude here.
Trapp's Commentary on Amos 4:4
Amos 4:4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes after three years:Ver. 4. Come to Bethel and transgress] Do so, if you think it good; and since you are so set upon it, go on, despair, die and be damned: That which will perish, let it perish, quoniam vobis stat sententia, since you are resolved, and there is no removing of you, take your own course, at your own peril. Here then we have a most bitter sarcasm, wherein God, in seeming to command sin, showeth his utmost dislike of it; for he is not a God that loveth wickedness, neither shall evil dwell with him, Psalms 5:4. See the like ironic expressions, Jeremiah 7:21 Ezekiel 20:39 Ecclesiastes 11:9 Numbers 22:20 Isaiah 29:1; Isaiah 8:9; Isaiah 47:12 Judges 10:14 1 Kings 18:27. Bethel-Place of Transgression At Gilgal multiply transgressions] That your madness may appear to all men, 1 Timothy 4:15. See Hosea 4:15. And bring your sacrifices every morning] Like apes, imitate the daily sacrifice; and do those self-same things to your idols which I have commanded to be done to myself alone; and in other places, that should be done at Jerusalem only. Do all this, and try what will come of it. Will you try a fall with God? will you despitefully spit in the face of Heaven? Do ye provoke me to anger, saith the Lord? do ye not provoke yourselves to the confusion of your own faces?
Jeremiah 7:19. And your tithes after three years] That so ye may seem to keep my law exactly, Deuteronomy 14:28, and to be wanting in no duty, either of piety or charity. Wasps also have their honeycombs; idolaters a form of devotion.
Ellicott's Commentary on Amos 4:4
(4) Bethel . . . Gilgal.—In bitterly ironical words the prophet summons Israel to the calf-worship of Bethel, and to similar rites of bastard Jehovah-worship at Gilgal. These spots were full of sacred associations. The sarcastic force of the passage is lost in E.V. For “three years” read every three days. The law only required a tithe every third year (Deuteronomy 26:12); but here the prophet is lashing the people with hyperbolical irony for their excessive generosity to the base priests and spurious sanctuaries.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Amos 4:4
Verse 4. Come to Beth-el and transgress] Spoken ironically. Go on to worship your calves at Beth-el; and multiply your transgressions at Gilgal; the very place where I rolled away the reproach of your fathers, by admitting them there into my covenant by circumcision. A place that should have ever been sacred to me; but you have now desecrated it by enormous idolatries. Let your morning and evening sacrifices be offered still to your senseless gods; and continue to support your present vicious priesthood by the regular triennial tithes which should have been employed in my service; and,
Cambridge Bible on Amos 4:4
4–13. Here the people at large are addressed by the prophet, perhaps at some festal religious gathering.
Barnes' Notes on Amos 4:4
Come to Beth-el and transgress - Having foretold their captivity, the prophet tries irony.
Whedon's Commentary on Amos 4:4
4, 5. A mistaken zeal. Beth-el — See on Amos 3:14. Gilgal — The first camping ground of the Israelites west of the Jordan. Its very name (circle, that is, of stones — cromlech) testifies to its sacred character.
