Although they fast The act of fasting in the Hebrew context is a profound expression of humility and repentance before God. In the Hebrew Bible, fasting is often associated with mourning, repentance, and seeking divine intervention. The Hebrew root word for fasting, "צוּם" (tsum), implies a voluntary abstention from food and drink to demonstrate earnestness in prayer and supplication. Historically, fasting was a common practice among the Israelites during times of crisis or when seeking God's favor. However, in this verse, the emphasis is on the futility of their fasting due to the insincerity of their hearts and the persistence in sin.

Though sometimes offered separately, it regularly accompanied a burnt offering. I will not accept them. Dr. Payne Smith tries to soften the rejection of these worshippers by the remark that "there is a time when the most genuine repentance avails nothing to avert the temporal consequences of sin." But the analogy of other similar passages (e.g. Isaiah 1:15) warrants the view of Keil that the ground of the rejection of the worship is its heartless formalism and insincerity, which was equally a bar to Jehovah's favor and the prophet's intercession.Parallel Commentaries ...
