Require

God does not require sacrifices. He only wants our obedience.

Read: Hosea 6:6 and Psalm 40:6
Hosea 6:6:

6 I want you to show love,[a]
not offer sacrifices.
I want you to know me[b]
more than I want burnt offerings.

Psalm 40:6:
6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings.
Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand[a]—
you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings.
