Exegesis
The verse begins with the construct chain zivkhei habehavay {זִבְחֵי הַבְהָבַי | ziv-ḥê ha-və-hā-vay} ‘sacrifices of my offerings’, indicating a possessive relationship and emphasizing divine ownership.
In context — Hosea 8:13
They sacrifice the sacrifices of my offerings and eat flesh, but the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and will attend to their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
