Tyndale

John Gill Bible Commentary

I will take no bullock out of thy house,.... That is, will accept of none; such sacrifices being no more agreeable to the will of God, Heb 10:5; the "bullock" is mentioned, that being a principal creature used in sacrifice; as also the following, nor he goats out of thy folds; the reasons follow.

Psalms 50:9

The Mighty One Calls

⁸I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me. ⁹I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens, ¹⁰for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills.
