⁴ tn The perfect verbal form here requires the past perfect translation since it describes an event that preceded the event described in the main clause.

¹ tn Heb “When you come to appear before me, who requires this from your hand, trampling of my courtyards?” The rhetorical question sarcastically makes the point that God does not require this parade of livestock.
