I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, etc.] Of the fattest of the flock; that is, of the best; such as Abel offered, (<010404>Genesis 4:4); with the incense of rams; or “rams with incense” f874; the Targum is, “with sweet incense, the sacrifice of rams;” Kimchi interprets it of incense of the fat of rams. I will offer bullocks with goats; he proposed to offer all kind of offerings, to show gratitude and thankfulness for the favours received; by all which are meant the calves, or fruit of the lips, the sacrifices of praise, thanksgiving to God, in the name of the whole church and people of God; (see <661901>Revelation 19:1-7). Selah; on this word, (see Gill on “<190302>Psalm 3:2”).
