Not but that God did enjoin those religious rites of worship; but the meaning is that he looked chiefly for obedience — without which, sacrifice was but devout folly.

那是真正的顺服，就是话语所要求的；我们的顺服必须与话语相符，如同副本与原本。
To seem to be zealous, if it be not according to the word, is not obedience, but will-worship.

犹太人可能说他们不愿如此大胆亲自到神面前；他们会更谦卑，俯伏在天使面前，求他们将他们的祈求呈给神；但这谦卑的外表是神所憎恶的，因为没有话语来保证它。
