ExplanationCommentary
Verse 19. Great. Greek “treated mercifully by thee: for little with thee is all sacrifice, for the odour of sweetness; and all fat is but the least for thy holocausts. But he who fears the Lord, is ever great.” Bible.—This text is remarkable, as it shews ( Calmet.) that no sacrifice can please God, without interior holiness. Outward magnificence will be otherwise rejected with contempt. Worthington.
