“Says Yahweh God.
‘On my holy mountain,
The mountain height
Of Israel,
There all the house of Israel,
All of them,
Shall serve me
In the land.
There I will accept them.
There I will require
Your contributions,
The choicest of your gifts,
With all your sacred things.’”
It was very clear that Yahweh wanted all the people of Israel to worship him on the holy high mountain and no place else. This holy mountain was the only place where they could serve him. Yahweh would accept their contributions only there. In fact, he required their choicest gifts and sacred items. Yahweh was precise. He was against all the other high places in Israel and Judah. The holy sacred mountain was the only place for sacrifices.
