Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 4:4

"Come to Bethel, and transgress; to Gilgal, and multiply transgressions; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes every three days; and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings and publish them: for this pleaseth you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah."False religion is the root of all social ills, and here the prophet poured out God's wrath upon the polluted, innovative, and unauthorized worship that marked the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 4:6

"And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.""Cleanness of teeth ..." If there is nothing to eat, one has no difficulty keeping his teeth clean; they stay clean! As Jamieson put it, "Where there is no food to masticate, the teeth are free of uncleanness."[23] This is not the only place in the Bible where cleanness is made to stand for something else. "Where no oxen are, the crib is clean"... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Amos 4:4

Amos 4:4. Come to Beth-el— This and the following verses are spoken ironically. See Hosea 4:15; Hosea 12:11. "Signalize your zeal and your diligence in those things which the Lord abhorreth most." Instead of, after three years, Houbigant reads with the Vulgate, in three days; which perhaps were those prescribed for the payment of their tithes. read more

Amos 4:6. And I also have given— For this cause have I given, &c. "The famine which I have sent upon the cities and territories of Israel, has not brought you to a sense of your sins, or any sincere purposes of amendment." The famine alluded to is recorded 2 Kings 8:1. See Calmet. read more

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 :-. Beth-el— ( :-). 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... read more

5. offer—literally, "burn incense"; that is, "offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with burnt incense and with leavened bread." The frankincense was laid on the meat offering, and taken by the priest from it to burn on the altar (Leviticus 2:1; Leviticus 2:2; Leviticus 2:8-11). Though unleavened cakes were to accompany the peace offering sacrifice of animals, leavened bread was also commanded (Leviticus 7:12; Leviticus 7:13), but not as a "meat offering" (Leviticus 7:13- :). this liketh you—that... read more

6-11. Jehovah details His several chastisements inflicted with a view to reclaiming them: but adds to each the same sad result, "yet have ye not returned unto Me" (Isaiah 9:13; Jeremiah 5:3; Hosea 7:10); the monotonous repetition of the same burden marking their pitiable obstinacy. cleanness of teeth—explained by the parallel, "want of bread." The famine alluded to is that mentioned in 2 Kings 8:1 [GROTIUS]. Where there is no food to masticate, the teeth are free from uncleanness, but it is the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 4:4

Ironically the Lord told these sinful Israelites to go to Bethel but to transgress, not to worship. Such a call parodied the summons of Israel’s priests to come to the sanctuary to worship (cf. Psalms 95:6; Psalms 96:8-9; Psalms 100:2-4). Bethel was the most popular religious site in the Northern Kingdom, but the Lord looked at what the people did there as transgressing His law rather than worshipping Him. Gilgal, another worship center, was evidently the Gilgal where the Israelites had entered... read more
