📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Amos, the prophet Amos, a shepherd from Judah, was sent by God to confront the northern kingdom of Israel around the 8th century BC for their social injustices, idolatry, and hypocritical worship. This verse is a rhetorical question that recalls the Israelites' 40 years in the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt, where God had commanded sacrifices as part of their covenant relationship. Amos uses it to expose that their rituals were often insincere, pointing to a pattern of unfaithfulness that continued into his time.
