Amos 4:4
_ _ God gives them up to their self-willed idolatry, that they may see how unable their idols are to save them from their coming calamities. So Ezekiel 20:39.
_ _ Beth-el — (Amos 3:14).
_ _ Gilgal — (Hosea 4:15; Hosea 9:15; Hosea 12:11).
_ _ sacrifices every morning — as commanded in the law (Numbers 28:3, Numbers 28:4). They imitated the letter, while violating by calf-worship the spirit, of the Jerusalem temple-worship.
_ _ after three years — every third year; literally, “after three (years of) days” (that is, the fullest complement of days, or a year); “after three full years.” Compare Leviticus 25:20; Judges 17:10, and “the days” for the years, Joel 1:2. So a month of days is used for a full month, wanting no day to complete it (Genesis 29:14, Margin; Numbers 11:20, Numbers 11:21). The Israelites here also kept to the letter of the law in bringing in the tithes of their increase every third year (Deuteronomy 14:28; Deuteronomy 26:12). |
Amos 4:4
Come to Beth — el — A strong irony, giving them over as incorrigible. At Gilgal — Gilgal was a place where much idolatry was acted. Every morning — In the same irony God reproves their sins tho' they imitated the instituted worship at Jerusalem. Three years — God had Deuteronomy 14:28, commanded every third year that all the tithe of that year should be brought, and laid up in a publick store — house. |
Amos 4:4
Come to (d) Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes after three (e) years:
(d) He speaks this in contempt of those who resorted to those places, thinking that their great devotion and good intention was sufficient to have bound God to them.
(e) Read (Deuteronomy 14:28). |
- Come:
- A bitter irony and sarcasm, addressed to the idolatrous Israelites.

Ezekiel 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
Joel 3:9-12 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: ... Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
Matthew 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Matthew 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which [are] within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
