Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
The phrase "Let them offer" suggests an invitation or command to engage in an act of worship. In the Hebrew context, the word for "offer" is often associated with bringing something forward or presenting it, particularly in a sacrificial system. This act of offering is not merely a ritual but a heartfelt expression of gratitude and devotion to God. Historically, sacrifices were central to the Israelites' worship, symbolizing atonement and communion with God. Here, the emphasis is on thanksgiving, indicating that the sacrifice is not for sin but for expressing gratitude.

sacrifices of thanksgiving
The term "sacrifices" in Hebrew is "zebach," which refers to the act of slaughtering an animal as an offering. However, in this context, it is paired with "thanksgiving," which transforms the nature of the sacrifice. The Hebrew word for "thanksgiving" is "todah," which implies a confession or praise. This type of sacrifice is a voluntary act of worship, acknowledging God's goodness and provision. It reflects a heart that recognizes God's blessings and responds with gratitude. In the New Testament, this concept is echoed in the spiritual sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving offered by believers (Hebrews 13:15).

and tell of His works
The phrase "and tell" indicates a proclamation or declaration. In the Hebrew tradition, recounting God's deeds was an essential part of worship and community life. The act of telling is not just for personal edification but serves to build up the faith of the community and testify to God's power and faithfulness. The word "works" refers to God's mighty acts and interventions in history. These works are evidence of His character and covenant faithfulness. By recounting these works, believers are reminded of God's sovereignty and are encouraged to trust Him in their own lives.

with rejoicing
The word "rejoicing" in Hebrew is "rinah," which conveys a sense of joy, exultation, and triumph. This is not a subdued or quiet joy but an exuberant expression of gladness. In the context of worship, rejoicing is a natural response to the recognition of God's goodness and the recounting of His mighty works. It reflects a heart that is not only grateful but also filled with the joy of the Lord. This joy is a fruit of the Spirit and a testimony to the world of the believer's hope and confidence in God. Rejoicing in worship is both a personal and communal experience, drawing believers closer to God and to one another.

Verse 22. - And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving; compare the expression, "the calves of our lips" (Hosea 14:2), and see also Hebrews 13:15. And declare his works with rejoicing; i.e. joyfully pro claim the great things that God has done for them.
