“‘Come to Bethel!
Transgress!
Go to Gilgal!
Multiply transgressions!
Bring your sacrifices
Every morning!
Bring your tithes
Every three days!
Bring a thank offering
Of leavened bread!
Proclaim freewill offerings!
Publish them!
You love to do this!
O people of Israel!’
Says Yahweh God.”
Amos has another oracle of Yahweh that was an ironic description of the sacrifices at Bethel and Gilgal. Yahweh wanted them to come to either Bethel or Gilgal, so that they could transgress the law of Yahweh many times. Ironically, he wanted them to bring the daily morning sacrifices and pay their tithes every 3 days. They were to bring thanksgiving offerings and proclaim freewill offerings. The people of Israel loved to do this.
