 11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.
 12When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand--to tread my courts?
 13Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me,--new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations--wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.
 14Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing them.

I have not.Though Moses was their ruler, under God, yet, so far from oppressing them, he had not imposed the smallest tax, nor taken, as a present, so much as an ass from one of them.
The common present that is now made to the great, in these countries, is a horse; but there is reason to believe, that an ass might formerly have answered the same purpose.
"If it is a visit of ceremony from a {bashaw,}" says Dr. Russell, "or other person in power, a fine horse, sometimes with furniture, or some such valuable present, is made to him at his departure."
As asses were esteemed no dishonourable beasts for the saddle, Sir. J. Chardin, in his MS., supposes, that when Samuel disclaimed having taken the ass of any one, (1 Sa 12:3,) he is to be understood of not having taken any ass for his riding.
In the same light, he considers this similar declaration of Moses.
His reason is "asses being then esteemed very honourable creatures for riding on, (ch.
22:21, 30.
Jdg 5:10.
2 Sa 16:2,) as they are at this very time in Persia, being rode with saddles."
1 Sam. 12:3‑4• 3Here I am: testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you.

 15Now *I* shall most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your souls, if even in abundantly loving you I should be less loved.
 16But be it so. *I* did not burden you, but being crafty I took you by guile.
