Malachi chapter 1

This chapter begins with Yahuah expressing His love for Yisharal, contrasting it with His disdain for Esau's descendants, Edom. Yahuah criticizes the priests of Israel for offering defiled sacrifices on His altar, highlighting their disrespect and lack of honor towards Him. He calls for them to offer pure offerings, warning that if they do not honor His NAME, He will curse their blessings and spread refuse on their faces. The chapter emphasizes Yahuah's desire for genuine respect and quality offerings from His people, contrasting the honor He receives from nations afar with the dishonor from the priests of Yisharal.
