Cattle On A Thousand Hills

Psalm 50:10 – For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.

Context = Animal sacrifices

Psalm 50:7 – “Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God. 8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you; your burnt offerings are continually before Me. 9 I will not accept a bull from your house or goats from your folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills

The Lord is trying to tell His people that He already owns all the livestock before they are given to Him as a sacrifice. ​These animals that He already possesses cannot truly remove anyone’s sin, for there still needs to be an all-sufficient blood sacrifice given from the Owner Himself.
