The Prophets also preached God desired justice, mercy, caring for widows and orphans, etc above the sacrifices which were part of the Torah as well. Almost sounds like the NT.....
Isaiah 1:17-18 (NKJV) Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
It was such passages as this that Hillel (a well venerated Jewish sage of old) and Yeshua could say the same thing in summarizing all of the Torah...... Love God with all you heart, mind, soul and love your neighbor as yourself.
