Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 1:12

_ _ appear before me — in the temple where the Shekinah, resting on the ark, was the symbol of God’s presence (Exodus 23:15; Psalms 42:2).

_ _ who hath required this — as if you were doing God a service by such hypocritical offerings (Job 35:7). God did require it (Exodus 23:17), but not in this spirit (Micah 6:6, Micah 6:7).

_ _ courts — areas, in which the worshippers were. None but priests entered the temple itself.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 1:10-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 1:12

To appear — Upon the three solemn feasts, or upon other occasions. Who required — The thing I commanded, was not only, nor chiefly, that you should offer external sacrifices, but that you should do it with true repentance, with faith in my promises, and sincere resolutions of devoting yourselves to my service.
