Contextual Overview

7 God says, "My people, listen to me; Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God. 8 I do not scold you for your sacrifices. You always bring me your burnt offerings. 9 But I do not need bulls from your stalls or goats from your pens, 10 because every animal of the forest is already mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are mine. 11 I know every bird on the mountains, and every living thing in the fields is mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, because the earth and everything in it are mine. 13 I don't eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats. 14 Give an offering to show thanks to God. Give God Most High what you have promised. 15 Call to me in times of trouble. I will save you, and you will honor me."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will take no bullock out of thy house,.... That is, will accept of none; such sacrifices being no more agreeable to the will of God, Hebrews 10:5; the "bullock" is mentioned, that being a principal creature used in sacrifice; as also the following,

[nor] he goats out of thy folds; the reasons follow.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will take no bullock out of thy house - Bullocks were offered regularly in the Hebrew service and sacrifice Exodus 29:11, Exodus 29:36; Leviticus 4:4; 1Ki 18:23, 1 Kings 18:33; and it is with reference to this that the language is used here. In obedience to the law it was right and proper to offer such sacrifices; and the design here is not to express disapprobation of these offerings in themselves considered. On this subject - on the external compliance with the law in this respect - God says Psalms 50:8 that he had no cause to complain against them. It was only with respect to the design and the spirit with which they did this, that the language in this verse and the following verses is used. The idea which it is the purpose of these verses to suggest is, that God did not “need” such offerings; that they were not to be made “as if” he needed them; and that if he needed such he was not “dependent” on them, for all the beasts of the earth and all the fowls of the mountains were his, and could be taken for that purpose; and that if he took what was claimed to be theirs - the bullocks and the goats - he did not wrong them, for all were his, and he claimed only his own.

Nor he-goats out of thy folds - Goats were also offered in sacrifice. Leviticus 3:12; Leviticus 4:24; Leviticus 10:16 : Numbers 15:27.
