Contextual Overview

⁷ Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am: - ⁸ Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually: ⁹ I will not take out of thy house - a bullock, Nor out of thy folds - he-goats; ¹⁰ For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands; ¹¹ I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me: ¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof. ¹³ Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink? ¹⁴ Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows; ¹⁵ Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify 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.
