And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
Cuando traen animales ciegos, cojos o enfermos como sacrificios, ¿piensan que eso está bien? Intenten dar esas mismas ofrendas dañadas a su gobernador: ¿estaría contento con ustedes o siquiera les prestaría atención? Dice el Señor que gobierna sobre todo.
Dios merece nuestras mejores ofrendas, no lo que está dañado o es de segunda calidad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Malachi, around 450 BC, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were attempting to restore their worship practices in the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. However, they were offering defective animals, such as blind or lame ones, as sacrifices, which directly disobeyed the Mosaic Law that required unblemished offerings to honor God properly. Through the prophet Malachi, God highlighted this hypocrisy by challenging the people to consider if they would present such inferior gifts to their earthly governor, emphasizing the disrespect in their half-hearted devotion.
