Malachi 2:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible
The priests teach wrong things
2 The Lord Almighty says this to the priests:
2 ‘Listen carefully to what I say to you. You must respect my name properly. If not, I will punish you. I will no longer bless you but I will curse you. I am already doing that because you do not respect my name as you should.
3 I will punish your descendants. When you offer an animal as a sacrifice at your festivals, I will cover your faces with its dirty bits. Then they will throw you away with all the other dirty bits. Those are the bits that I cannot accept as clean.’[a]

- 2:3 The dirty bits of the animals were the things that were inside its stomach. Those things could not be part of the sacrifice that they offered to God. They had to take those bits away and put them on the heap of rubbish.
