In this phrase, God expresses His disdain for the religious rituals of the Israelites. The New Moons and appointed feasts were part of the ceremonial law given to Israel (Numbers 28:11-15, Leviticus 23). These were intended to be times of worship and remembrance of God's provision and deliverance. However, by the time of Isaiah, these observances had become empty rituals, devoid of genuine faith and obedience. The Israelites were performing these ceremonies outwardly, but their hearts were far from God (Isaiah 29:13). This reflects a broader biblical theme where God desires mercy and knowledge of Him rather than mere sacrifice (Hosea 6:6). The New Moons and feasts, while instituted by God, had become hypocritical practices when not accompanied by true repentance and righteousness. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them. Persons / Places / Events 1. IsaiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name. He prophesied to the Kingdom of Judah during a time of moral and spiritual decline. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, which was the primary audience of Isaiah's prophecies. Judah was experiencing a period of religious formalism and hypocrisy. 3. New Moons and Appointed Feasts These were religious observances commanded by God in the Mosaic Law. They were intended to be times of worship and remembrance of God's covenant with Israel. 4. God The speaker in this verse, expressing His displeasure with the empty rituals of His people. 5. Religious Rituals The context of this verse is a critique of the religious practices of the Israelites, which had become mere formalities devoid of genuine devotion. Teaching Points The Danger of Empty RitualsGod desires genuine worship and obedience, not mere outward observance of religious practices. Our rituals should reflect a heart devoted to God. The Burden of Hypocrisy When religious practices become burdensome, it may indicate a disconnect between our actions and our heart. We must examine our motives and seek authenticity in our worship. God's Weariness with Insincerity God is weary of insincere worship. We should strive to align our hearts with our actions, ensuring that our worship is pleasing to Him. The Call to True Worship True worship involves justice, mercy, and humility. We should focus on living out these principles in our daily lives as an expression of our faith. Reflecting on Our Worship Practices Regularly evaluate your worship practices to ensure they are meaningful and reflect a genuine relationship with God.(14) Your new moons and your appointed feasts.--The latter word included the sabbaths (Leviticus 23:3). The words add nothing to what had been said before, but they come with all the emphasis of iteration. My soul.--The words are in one sense anthropomorphic. With man the "soul" expresses the full intensity of life and consciousness, and so, in the language of the prophets, it does with God. Verse 14. - Your new moons. (For the ceremonies to be observed at the opening of each month, see Numbers 28:11-15.) Your appointed feasts. The "appointed feasts" are the great festival-times - the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. They do not include the sabbath or the "new moon, "with which they are, both here and elsewhere (1 Chronicles 23:31; 2 Chronicles 31:3), contrasted.
