Malachi / Question
Question source
Malachi
Malachi pronounces a curse on the one who vows a proper sacrifice but offers a blemished animal instead Malachi 1:14. The reason given is that the LORD is a great King and his name is feared among the nations Malachi 1:14. The verse targets deliberate deceit in worship Malachi 1:14.
14But cursed be the deceiver, who has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, says Yahweh of hosts, and my name is awesome among the Gentiles.
