resume your journey, heading for
the Amorite hill country, to all its areas
including the arid country,

and the coastal plain – all of Canaan and Lebanon as far as the Great River, that is, the Euphrates.

Go, occupy the territory that I,
the

to give to your ancestors
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants.”

I get no pleasure from the sacrifices they offer to me.’

For their bread will be only to satisfy their appetite;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.
Malachi 1:10

1:13 You also say, ‘How tiresome it is.’ You turn up your nose at it,” says the

asks the
Lord.
