I find it very interesting that Satan himself uses an oath to God in his secret combinations. Even he recognizes that the power of God is the source of all power (and, I assume, it logically traps those who would repent by making them oath breakers to the very God they wish to return to).
I also thought about the idea of our offerings to the Lord. Was it the form of the offering that was rejected? I believe it was, but even more than that it was the heart that was rejected in this offering. Sometimes we make offerings that are not acceptable to the Lord. We feel like the Lord wants more from us, but we mistake what the more that the Lord wants is. He can take our loaves and fishes and feed a multitude with them, but our offerings must include a broken heart and a contrite spirit to be acceptable to Him.
