Comentario sobre Isaías 1:11
לָמָּה־לִּ֤י רֹב־זִבְחֵיכֶם֙ יֹאמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה שָׂבַ֛עְתִּי עֹל֥וֹת אֵילִ֖ים וְחֵ֣לֶב מְרִיאִ֑ים וְדַ֨ם פָּרִ֧ים וּכְבָשִׂ֛ים וְעַתּוּדִ֖ים לֹ֥א חָפָֽצְתִּי׃
¿Para qué á mí, dice SEÑOR, la multitud de vuestros sacrificios? Harto estoy de holocaustos de carneros, y de sebo de animales gruesos: no quiero sangre de bueyes, ni de ovejas, ni de machos cabríos.
Rashi on Isaiah
I am sated with the burnt-offerings of rams This is similar to: “Lest he have too much of you and hate you,” (Proverbs 25:18).

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
To what purpose, etc. Why should I leave you longer in the land ? Is it for the sake of the multitude of your burnt offerings ? I am full, etc. An anthropomorphism ; in reality, He does not want anything; comp. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, etc. (Ps. 1. 12 ff).

Why do I need your many sacrifices: Because the primary point of a sacrifice is to repent and if you remain rebellious the sacrifice does not help.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
מריאים A species of cattle, akin to the ox, but larger; its fat is prohibited.28In the Rabbinical writings חֵלֶב is the forbidden fat, שׁוּמָן the permitted. The fat of the quadrupeds that were allowed to be eaten and were also admitted as offerings upon the altar, is prohibited (Leviticus 7:25); the fat of those that were not employed as sacrifices, but might serve as food to the Israelites, is permitted. In the former case the animals were called בהמה ‘ cattle’, in the latter חיה ‘beasts.’ According to Ibn Ezra מריא is a בהמה ; according to Saadiah it is a חיה (جاموس chamois). Comp. I. E. on Am. 5:22. The Gaon29R. Hai (ibid.) compares מריאים fed beasts with מרא to feed (Mishnah Sabbath 24:3).
