It seems that there were 613 commandments that the faithful were instructed to follow. Jesus said that some were striving to follow the commandments at the expense of the spirit of the law.
Some were declaring their money as 'korban' - dedicated to God - which meant that it then couldn't be used to look after their families - religion getting in the way of love.
from the Message - "you scratch out God's Word and scrawl a whim in its place. You do a lot of things like this."
you can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that he hates the same people as you
