6:6With what should I9 enter the Lord’s presence?
With what10 should I bow before the sovereign God?11
Should I enter his presence with burnt offerings,
with year-old calves?
6:7Will the Lord accept a thousand rams,
or ten thousand streams of olive oil?
Should I give him my firstborn child as payment for my rebellion,
my offspring—my own flesh and blood—for my sin?12
Footnotes
- 9 With what should I enter the Lord’s presence? The prophet speaks again, playing the role of an inquisitive worshiper who wants to know what God really desires from his followers.
- 10 The words “with what” do double duty in the parallelism and are supplied in the second line of the translation for clarification.
- 11 Or “the exalted God.”
- 12 Heb “the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) is often translated “soul,” but the word usually refers to the whole person; here “the sin of my soul” = “my sin.”
