Context of Amos 4:5
3and ye shall go out by the breaches, every one straight before her, and ye shall be cast out to Harmon, saith Jehovah. 4Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices in the morning, your tithes every three days, and burn a thank-offering with leaven, and proclaim, publish, voluntary offerings: for this pleaseth you, children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah. 6And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet ye have not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. 7And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece [of land] was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

Commentaries on Amos 4:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Over a sacrifice of thanksgiving - To the senseless metal, and the unfeeling stock and stone images, from which ye never did, and never could receive any help. Proceed yet farther, and bring free-will offerings; testify superabundant gratitude to your wooden and metallic gods, to whom ye are under such immense imaginary obligations! Proclaim and publish these offerings, and set forth the perfections of the objects of your worship; and see what they can do…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven - But amid this boastful service, all was self-will. In little or great, the calf-worship at Bethel, or the use of leaven in the sacrifice, they did as they willed. The prophet seems to have joined purposely the fundamental change, by which Jeroboam substituted the worship of nature for its God, and a minute alteration of the ritual, to show that one and the same temper, self-will, reigned in all, dictated…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5Leavened bread (that is, sourdough bread made by wild yeast) was eaten every day. Unleavened bread (made without yeast) became a sacred symbol. It reminded Israel of: their suffering as slaves in Egypt (Deuteronomy 16:3), the Passover (Exodus 12:17–20), and their quick departure from that land (Exodus 12:34, 39). Because of this meaning, unleavened bread became the bread used on the altar (Leviticus 6:17; 7:12). However, bread made with yeast could still…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. offer--literally, "burn incense"; that is, "offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with burnt incense and with leavened bread." The frankincense was laid on the meat offering, and taken by the priest from it to burn on the altar (Le 2:1, 2, 8-11). Though unleavened cakes were to accompany the peace offering sacrifice of animals, leavened bread was also commanded (Le 7:12, 13), but not as a "meat offering" (Le 2:11). this liketh you--that is, this is what ye…Read the comment
