Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 7:22

_ _ Not contradicting the divine obligation of the legal sacrifices. But, “I did not require sacrifices, unless combined with moral obedience” (Psalms 50:8; Psalms 51:16, Psalms 51:17). The superior claim of the moral above the positive precepts of the law was marked by the ten commandments having been delivered first, and by the two tables of stone being deposited alone in the ark (Deuteronomy 5:6). The negative in Hebrew often supplies the want of the comparative: not excluding the thing denied, but only implying the prior claim of the thing set in opposition to it (Hosea 6:6). “I will have mercy, and not sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). Love to God is the supreme end, external observances only means towards that end. “The mere sacrifice was not so much what I commanded, as the sincere submission to My will gives to the sacrifice all its virtue” [Magee, Atonement, Note 57].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 7:21-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 7:22

For — God doth not condemn these offerings, save only comparatively in respect of obedience, not so much these, as obeying his commands.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 7:22

For (k) I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

(k) Showing that it was not his chief purpose and intent, that they should offer sacrifices, but that they should regard, why they were ordained: that is, to be joined to the word as seals and confirmations of remissions of sins in Christ: for without the word they were vain and unprofitable.
