Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah! ¹¹ "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats. ¹² When you come to appear before me, Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts? ¹³ Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies. ¹⁴ My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts; They are a burden to me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth,.... The Targum is,

"my Word abhorreth;''

the Messiah, the essential Word. These are the same as before.

They are a trouble unto me; as they were kept and observed, either when they should not, or in a manner unbecoming:

I am weary to bear [them]; because of the sins with which they made him to serve, Isaiah 43:24.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Your appointed feasts - That is, your assemblies convened on regular set times - ???? mo??e?d, from ??? ya??ad, to fix, to appoint. Hengstenberg (Chris. iii. p. 87) has shown that this word (?????? mo??e?d??ym) is applied in the Scriptures only to the sabbath, passover, pentecost, day of atonement, and feast of tabernacles. Prof. Alexander, in loc. It is applied to those festivals, because they were fixed by law to certain periods of the year. This verse is a very impressive repetition of the former, as if the soul was full of the subject, and disposed to dwell upon it.

My soul hateth - I hate. Psalms 11:5. The nouns ???? nephesh, soul, and ???? ru?ach, spirit, are often used to denote the person himself, and are to be construed as �I.� Thus, Isaiah 26:9 : �With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early;� that is, �I myself seek thee; I myself do desire thee.� So the phrase, �deliver my soul,� - ????? naph^esh??y - that is, deliver me, Psalms 22:20; Psalms 84:3; Psalms 86:13-14; that thy soul may bless me, Genesis 27:19; his soul shall dwell at ease, Psalms 25:13; compare Numbers 11:6; Leviticus 16:29; Isaiah 55:2-3; Job 16:4. So the word spirit: �Thy watchfulness hath preserved my spirit� - ????? ru?ch??y - Job 10:12; compare Psalms 31:6; 1 Kings 21:5. The expression here is emphatic, denoting cordial hatred: odi ex animo.

They are a trouble - ??? t?o?rach. In Deuteronomy 1:12, this word denotes a burden, an oppressive lead that produces weariness in bearing it. It is a strong expression, denoting that their acts of hypocrisy and sin had become so numerous, that they became a heavy, oppressive lead.

I am weary to bear them - This is language which is taken from the act of carrying a burden until a man becomes weary and faint. So, in accordance with human conceptions, God represents himself as burdened with their vain oblations, and evil conduct. There could be no more impressive statement of the evil effects of sin, than that even Omnipotence was exhausted as with a heavy, oppressive burden.
