isaiah 1:12 "When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts?

< Isaiah 1:11
Isaiah 1:13 >

      12. appear before me--in the temple where the Shekinah, resting on the ark, was the symbol of God's presence (Ex 23:15; Ps 42:2).
      who hath required this--as if you were doing God a service by such hypocritical offerings (Job 35:7). God did require it (Ex 23:17), but not in this spirit (Mic 6:6, 7).
      courts--areas, in which the worshippers were. None but priests entered the temple itself.

JFB.
