Jeremiah / Question
Question source
Jeremiah
God says he spoke to Israel about obeying his voice and walking in his ways, not relying on sacrifices as a substitute for obedience (Jeremiah 7:22–23). The passage centers the covenant requirement on listening and doing what was commanded.
22For I didn`t speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23but this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk you in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
