Sanctuary – Part 2 [Crosier]

I believe the SANCTUARY, to be cleansed at the end of the 2300 days, is the New Jerusalem Temple, of which Christ is a minister. THE LORD SHEW ME IN VISION, MORE THAN ONE YEAR AGO, THAT BROTHER CROSIER HAD THE TRUE LIGHT, ON THE CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY, &C; AND THAT IT WAS HIS WILL, THAT BROTHER C. SHOULD WRITE OUT THE VIEW WHICH HE GAVE US IN THE DAY-STAR, EXTRA, FEBRUARY 7, 1846. I FEEL FULLY AUTHORIZED BY THE LORD, TO RECOMMEND THAT EXTRA, TO EVERY SAINT. {WLF 12.8 1847}

PART ONE OF FOUR

THE LAW OF MOSES

Ml4.4 >REMEMBER YE THE LAW OF MOSES MY SERVANT, WHICH I COMMANDED UNTO HIM IN HOREB FOR ALL ISRAEL, [WITH] THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS.

The commandment of this verse to REMEMBER THE LAW OF MOSES, is the last one in the Old Testament, and given in connection with a prophetic description of THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY OF THE LORD, as though the law contained something further descriptive of that day. Perhaps we have paid too little attention to the law, not seeing its import and the light it was designed to shed on the GOOD THINGS TO COME. Our Saviour and the apostles taught from Moses as well as the prophets THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF.

Ml4.5 >BEHOLD, I WILL SEND YOU ELIJAH THE PROPHET BEFORE THE COMING OF THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY OF THE LORD:

He9.11 BUT CHRIST BEING COME AN HIGH PRIEST OF {ton} GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, NOT MADE WITH HANDS, that is to say, not of this building;

He10.1 FOR THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW OF {the} GOOD THINGS TO COME, [AND] NOT THE VERY IMAGE OF THE THINGS, CAN NEVER WITH THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR CONTINUALLY MAKE THE COMERS THEREUNTO PERFECT.

Lk24.27 AND BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL THE PROPHETS, HE EXPOUNDED UNTO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF.

The Mosaic law is what Paul in Hebrews calls the First Covenant, which the Lord made with the FATHERS IN THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT Hebrews 8:9; Jeremiah 31; 32; 1 Kings 8:9. This was not the covenant of promises made with Abraham, nor does it at all affect that. This covenant of promise made to Abraham and his seed, Christ, was confirmed 430 years before the Law was given, and NO MAN DISANNULLETH, OR ADDETH THERETO. AND THIS I SAY, [THAT] THE COVENANT, THAT WAS CONFIRMED BEFORE OF GOD IN CHRIST, THE LAW, WHICH WAS FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS AFTER, CANNOT DISANNUL, THAT IT SHOULD MAKE THE PROMISE OF NONE EFFECT. Galatians 3:17. The inheritance is not of the Law, but of promise; verse 18.

He8.9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their FATHERS IN THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

1k8.9 [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they CAME OUT OF the land of Egypt.

Ga3.15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though [it be] but a man’s covenant, yet [if it be] confirmed, NO MAN DISANNULLETH, OR ADDETH THERETO.

Ga3.17 And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the Law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Ga3.18 For if the inheritance [be] of the Law, [it is] no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise.

Hence righteousness comes not by the Law but by faith in the promises. WHEREFORE THEN [SERVETH] THE LAW? IT WAS ADDED BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSIONS, TILL THE SEED SHOULD COME TO WHOM THE PROMISE WAS MADE verse 19. In the day that Abraham AND HE [Abram] BELIEVED IN THE LORD; AND HE COUNTED IT TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, he made a covenant with him saying, UNTO THY SEED HAVE I GIVEN THIS LAND, FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT UNTO THE GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER EUPHRATES Genesis 15. At the same time he assured him of the 400 years affliction, at the end of which he delivered Israel from Egypt, and gave them the Law, which he called a covenant, in Horeb near Sinai; see 2 Chronicles 5:10 Exodus 24:3-6; 34:27,28; Deuteronomy 5:1-3. THE LORD OUR GOD MADE A COVENANT WITH US IN HOREB. THE LORD MADE NOT THIS COVENANT WITH OUR FATHERS, BUT WITH US, [EVEN] US, WHO [ARE] ALL OF US HERE ALIVE THIS DAY.

Ga3.19 WHEREFORE THEN [SERVETH] THE LAW? IT WAS ADDED BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSIONS, TILL THE SEED [Christ] SHOULD COME TO WHOM THE PROMISE WAS MADE; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Ge15.6 AND HE [Abram] BELIEVED IN THE LORD; AND HE COUNTED IT TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. [ro4.3,9,22; ga3.6; ja2.23]

Ge15.18 IN THE SAME DAY THE LORD MADE A COVENANT WITH ABRAM, SAYING, UNTO THY SEED HAVE I GIVEN THIS LAND, FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT UNTO THE GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER EUPHRATES:

De5.1 AND MOSES CALLED ALL ISRAEL, AND SAID UNTO THEM, HEAR, O ISRAEL, THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS WHICH I SPEAK IN YOUR EARS THIS DAY, THAT YE MAY LEARN THEM, AND KEEP, AND DO THEM.

De5.2 THE LORD OUR GOD MADE A COVENANT WITH US IN HOREB.

De5.3 THE LORD MADE NOT THIS COVENANT WITH OUR FATHERS, BUT WITH US, [EVEN] US, WHO [ARE] ALL OF US HERE ALIVE THIS DAY.

This covenant was to continue only TILL THE SEED [Christ] SHOULD COME; THEN A NEW COVENANT was made: Isaiah 42 1,6; 49:5-9. He confirmed the (margin, a) covenant, the new one, (Daniel 9:27,) the Gospel; Mark 1:14,15; Matthew 4:23. THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS, and neither of them the Abrahamic, but both [are] involved in that in its comprehensive sense. Paul contrasts these two covenants, calling the latter the BETTER COVENANT,” the PERFECT; whereas the former, THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT; but only had A FIGURE, PATTERNS, A SHADOW OF GOOD THINGS TO COME, BUT THE BODY, the substance of those legal shadows, IS OF CHRIST.

Je31.31 >BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE LORD, THAT I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH:

He8.8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make A NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

He12.24 And to Jesus the mediator of THE NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.

Is42.1 BEHOLD MY SERVANT, WHOM I UPHOLD; MINE ELECT, [IN WHOM] MY SOUL DELIGHTETH; I HAVE PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM: HE SHALL BRING FORTH JUDGMENT TO THE GENTILES.

Is42.6 I THE LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and WILL keep thee, and GIVE THEE FOR A COVENANT of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

Is49.5 >And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb [to be] his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

Is49.6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Is49.7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, [and] the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

Is49.8 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and GIVE THEE FOR A COVENANT of the people, to ESTABLISH THE EARTH, to CAUSE TO INHERIT THE DESOLATE HERITAGES;

Is49.9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that [are] in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures [shall be] in all high places.

Da9.27 AND HE SHALL CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK: AND IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK HE SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, AND FOR THE OVERSPREADING OF ABOMINATIONS HE SHALL MAKE [IT] DESOLATE, EVEN UNTIL THE CONSUMMATION, AND THAT DETERMINED SHALL BE POURED UPON THE DESOLATE.

Mk1.14 NOW AFTER THAT JOHN WAS PUT IN PRISON, JESUS CAME INTO GALILEE, PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD,

Mk1.15 AND SAYING, THE TIME IS FULFILLED, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND: REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.

Mt4.23 >And Jesus went about all Galilee, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the gospel of the kingdom, and HEALING all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Ga4.22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [ge16.15] [ge21.2]

Ga4.23 But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.

Ga4.24 Which things are an allegory: for THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

Ga4.25 FOR THIS AGAR IS MOUNT SINAI IN ARABIA, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Ga4.26 But JERUSALEM which is above is free, which IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL.

He8.6 BUT NOW HATH HE OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY, BY HOW MUCH ALSO HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon better promises.

1co13.10 But when that which is PERFECT is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

He7.11 If therefore PERFECTION were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

He7.19 FOR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE [DID]; BY THE WHICH WE DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD.

He9.9 WHICH [WAS] A FIGURE FOR THE TIME THEN PRESENT, IN WHICH WERE OFFERED BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES, that could NOT make him that did the service PERFECT, as pertaining to the conscience;

He9.11 BUT CHRIST BEING COME AN HIGH PRIEST OF {ton} GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, NOT MADE WITH HANDS, that is to say, not of this building;

He10.14 FOR BY ONE OFFERING HE HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED.

He7.19 FOR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE [DID]; BY THE WHICH WE DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD.

He9.9 WHICH [WAS] A FIGURE FOR THE TIME THEN PRESENT, IN WHICH WERE OFFERED BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES, that could not make him that did the service PERFECT, as pertaining to the conscience;

He9.23 [IT WAS] THEREFORE NECESSARY THAT THE PATTERNS OF THINGS IN THE HEAVENS SHOULD BE PURIFIED WITH THESE; BUT THE HEAVENLY THINGS THEMSELVES WITH BETTER SACRIFICES THAN THESE.

Cl2.17 WHICH ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME; BUT THE BODY [IS] OF CHRIST.

THE LAW SHOULD BE STUDIED AND REMEMBERED as a simplified model of the great system of redemption, containing symbolic representations of the work begun by our Saviour at his first advent, when he CAME TO FULFIL THE LAW, and to be completed in THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, UNTO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY. Redemption is deliverance purchased by the payment of a ransom, hence it cannot be complete till man and the earth shall be delivered from the subjection and consequences of sin; the last act of deliverance will be at the end of the 1000 years. To this the shadow of the Law extended. That the significancy of the Law reaches beyond the first advent is evident from these considerations:

Ex2.24 And God heard their groaning, and GOD REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM, WITH ISAAC, AND WITH JACOB.

Ex6.5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have REMEMBERED MY COVENANT.

Ps105.7 He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth.

Ps105.8 He hath REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations.

Ps105.9 Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

Ps105.10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob FOR A LAW, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:

Ps105.42 For HE REMEMBERED HIS HOLY PROMISE, [and] Abraham his servant.

Ps106.45 And HE REMEMBERED FOR THEM HIS COVENANT, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

De31.24 >AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN MOSES HAD MADE AN END OF WRITING THE WORDS OF THIS LAW IN A BOOK, UNTIL THEY WERE FINISHED,

De31.25 THAT MOSES COMMANDED THE LEVITES, WHICH BARE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD, SAYING,

De31.26 TAKE THIS BOOK OF THE LAW, AND PUT IT IN THE SIDE OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, THAT IT MAY BE THERE FOR A WITNESS AGAINST THEE.

De31.27 FOR I KNOW THY REBELLION, AND THY STIFF NECK: BEHOLD, WHILE I AM YET ALIVE WITH YOU THIS DAY, YE HAVE BEEN REBELLIOUS AGAINST THE LORD; AND HOW MUCH MORE AFTER MY DEATH?

Jn1.17 FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN BY MOSES, [BUT] GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY JESUS CHRIST.

Jn12.34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

Ro7.25 I THANK GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Ro8.1 [THERE IS] THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.

Ro8.2 FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

Ro8.3 FOR WHAT THE LAW COULD NOT DO, IN THAT IT WAS WEAK THROUGH THE FLESH, GOD SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH, AND FOR SIN, CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH:

Ro8.4 THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.

Ro10.4 FOR CHRIST [IS] THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth.

Ro10.5 FOR MOSES DESCRIBETH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. [le18.5; ez20.11,ez13,21; ga3.12]

1co9.20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

1co9.21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to GOD, but under the law to CHRIST,) that I might gain them that are without law.

Ga2.16 KNOWING THAT A MAN IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, BUT BY THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, EVEN WE HAVE BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST, AND NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW: FOR BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED.

Ga2.21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS [COME] BY THE LAW, THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN.

Ga3.13 CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: [de21.23]

Ga3.24 WHEREFORE THE LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER [TO BRING US] UNTO CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.

Ga3.25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Ga3.26 FOR YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.

Ep1.14 Which is the EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, UNTO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.

1. The cleansing of the Sanctuary formed a part of the legal service, (Leviticus 16:20-33) and its antitype was not to be cleansed till the end of the 2300 days; Daniel 8:14

Le16.20 >And when HE HATH MADE AN END OF RECONCILING THE HOLY [PLACE] {within the veil, verse 2}, AND THE TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION, AND THE ALTAR {or when he hath cleansed the Sanctuary}, HE SHALL BRING THE LIVE GOAT:

Le16.21 AND AARON SHALL LAY BOTH HIS HANDS UPON THE HEAD OF THE LIVE GOAT, AND CONFESS OVER HIM ALL THE INIQUITIES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND ALL THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS IN ALL THEIR SINS, PUTTING THEM UPON THE HEAD OF THE GOAT, AND SHALL SEND [HIM] AWAY BY THE HAND OF A FIT MAN INTO THE WILDERNESS:

Le16.22 AND THE GOAT SHALL BEAR UPON HIM ALL THEIR INIQUITIES UNTO A LAND NOT INHABITED {margin, of separation}: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

Le16.23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy [place], and shall leave them there:

Le16.24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

Le16.25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.

Le16.26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

Le16.27 And the bullock [for] the sin offering, and the goat [for] the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy [place], shall [one] carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

Le16.28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

Le16.29 >And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you: [that] in THE SEVENTH MONTH, ON THE TENTH [DAY] OF THE MONTH, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

Le16.30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [THAT] YE MAY BE CLEAN FROM ALL YOUR SINS BEFORE THE LORD.

Le16.31 It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

Le16.32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, [even] the holy garments:

Le16.33 And he [Aaron] shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.

Le16.34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOR ALL THEIR SINS ONCE A YEAR. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Da8.14 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, UNTO TWO THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED DAYS; THEN SHALL THE SANCTUARY BE CLEANSED {margin, justified}.

2. The Sabbaths under the Law typify the great Sabbath, the seventh millennium; Hebrews 4:3.

He4.3 FOR WE WHICH HAVE BELIEVED DO ENTER INTO REST, AS HE SAID, AS I HAVE SWORN IN MY WRATH, IF THEY SHALL ENTER INTO MY REST: ALTHOUGH THE WORKS WERE FINISHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.

He4.4 FOR HE SPAKE IN A CERTAIN PLACE OF THE SEVENTH [DAY] ON THIS WISE, AND GOD DID REST THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS. [ge2.2]

3. The Jubilee typifies the release and return to their possessions of all captive Israel; this cannot be fulfilled till the resurrection of the just.

4. The autumnal types were none of them fulfilled at the first advent.

5. The legal tenth day atonement was not, neither could it be fulfilled at that time.

Although he blotted out the hand writing of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; yet after his resurrection, both he and his apostles made use of the law in proof of his Messiahship. He was buried and arose, and shed down the Holy Ghost in direct fulfilment of the types, which would not have been the case if the significancy of the law had terminated at the cross. In fact his anointing and crucifixion were only the beginning of its fulfilment, as being the beginning of that great system of redemption whose shadows were contained in the law.

All will admit that some of the types have been fulfilled and that others have not. As they are yet to be fulfilled, it becomes us to remember and study the law to learn their nature and import.

THE LEGAL TYPES AND ANTITYPES

That some of the legal types have met their antitypes is beyond controversy. By learning the manner of their fulfilment, and the principle as to time on which they are fulfilled; we can the more understandingly proceed to the investigation of the other types. There are two classes of yearly types – the Vernal [spring, March/April] and the Autumnal [autumn, September/October]: Leviticus 23. The former met their antitypes at the first Advent, but the latter are to be fulfilled in connection with and after the second advent.

The vernal types were the Passover 14th 1st month, the feast of unleavened bread, 15th to 22nd 1st month, waving of the first fruits 16th 1st month, and the feast of weeks or Pentecost 50 days after in the 3rd month. Leviticus 23:1-21.

Le23.1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Le23.2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, [Concerning] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, [even] these [are] my feasts.

Le23.3 SIX DAYS SHALL WORK BE DONE: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY [IS] THE SABBATH OF REST, AN HOLY CONVOCATION; YE SHALL DO NO WORK [THEREIN]: IT [IS] THE SABBATH OF THE LORD IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS.

Le23.4 >These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

Le23.5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD’s passover.

Le23.6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

Le23.7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Le23.8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

Le23.9 >AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES, SAYING,

Le23.10 SPEAK UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND SAY UNTO THEM, WHEN YE BE COME INTO THE LAND WHICH I GIVE UNTO YOU, AND SHALL REAP THE HARVEST THEREOF, THEN YE SHALL BRING A SHEAF OF THE FIRSTFRUITS OF YOUR HARVEST UNTO THE PRIEST:

Le23.11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

Le23.12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

Le23.13 And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD [for] a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine, the fourth [part] of an hin.

Le23.14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Le23.15 >And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

Le23.16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

Le23.17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto the LORD.

Le23.18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, [even] an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

Le23.19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

Le23.20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits [for] a wave offering before the LORD with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

Le23.21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, [that] it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Our Saviour was scrupulously precise in (commencing) their fulfilment at the very times they were respectively observed under the Law, as the brethren have repeatedly shown. But we have evidently erred in circumscribing the latitude of their fulfilment, they being fulfilled during the Gospel Dispensation.

THE PASSOVER. 1 Corinthians 15:3; FOR I DELIVERED UNTO YOU FIRST OF ALL THAT WHICH I ALSO RECEIVED, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. 1 Corinthians 5:7. CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US. Paul considered it of the first importance to deliver unto us the fact that Christ died for our sins in fulfilment of the slaying of the Paschal lamb. This he received from the law, though the law nowhere says in words that his crucifixion should be the antitype of slaying the Paschal lamb; yet so clear was the fulfilment that it furnished unanswerable proof that Jesus was the Messiah.

1co15.3 FOR I DELIVERED UNTO YOU FIRST OF ALL THAT WHICH I ALSO RECEIVED, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES;

1co5.7 PURGE OUT THEREFORE THE OLD LEAVEN, THAT YE MAY BE A NEW LUMP, AS YE ARE UNLEAVENED. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US:

The Jews could not lay hands on him till his hour had come, then being BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER, He expired, OUR PASSOVER, in the very month, day, and hour, of slaying the legal Passover. It is ascertained that the Paschal antitype began at the crucifixion; but where must it end?

Is53.7 HE WAS OPPRESSED, AND HE WAS AFFLICTED, YET HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH: HE IS BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER, AND AS A SHEEP BEFORE HER SHEARERS IS DUMB, SO HE OPENETH NOT HIS MOUTH.

1co5.7 PURGE OUT THEREFORE THE OLD LEAVEN, THAT YE MAY BE A NEW LUMP, AS YE ARE UNLEAVENED. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US:

Let the Saviour answer.

Luke 22:15-18;

Lk22.15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

Lk22.16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be FULFILLED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Lk22.17 AND HE TOOK THE CUP, AND GAVE THANKS, AND SAID, TAKE THIS, AND DIVIDE [IT] AMONG YOURSELVES:

Lk22.18 FOR I SAY UNTO YOU, I WILL NOT DRINK OF THE FRUIT OF THE VINE, UNTIL THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHALL COME.

The Paschal feast must be FULFILLED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, which according to verse 18, was then and is yet to COME. So long then as we pray, THY KINGDOM COME, the Paschal antitype is not finished. The Lord instituted his Supper for the New Covenant in place of the Paschal feast of old, and as oft as we do it we show forth his death till he comes. One extreme of the Paschal antitype is his death, and the other his second coming, hence it spans and is fulfilled during the Gospel Dispensation.

Mt6.10 THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS [IT IS] IN HEAVEN.

Lk11.2 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHEN YE PRAY, SAY, OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, SO IN EARTH.

THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, in the antitype appears to run parallel with the Paschal antitype. 1 Corinthians 5:7,8; PURGE OUT THEREFORE THE OLD LEAVEN, THAT YE MAY BE A NEW LUMP, AS YE ARE UNLEAVENED. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: THEREFORE LET US KEEP THE FEAST, NOT WITH OLD LEAVEN, NEITHER WITH THE LEAVEN OF MALICE AND WICKEDNESS; BUT WITH THE UNLEAVENED [BREAD] OF SINCERITY AND TRUTH. The type was carnal, the bread made of grain: the antitype spiritual, the bread is truth, the Word of God received in sincerity. The bitter herbs with which it was eaten seem fitly to typify the afflictive trials of Christians in this state. As they began on the 14th at the Passover to eat unleavened bread and bitter herbs so the afflictive trials of the church began when the Shepherd was smitten and THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED; but they will end and the Bible be superseded WHEN THE CHIEF SHEPHERD SHALL APPEAR and gather THE FLOCK OF SLAUGHTER with joy to our beloved Zion.

1co5.7 PURGE OUT THEREFORE THE OLD LEAVEN, THAT YE MAY BE A NEW LUMP, AS YE ARE UNLEAVENED. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US:

1co5.8 THEREFORE LET US KEEP THE FEAST, NOT WITH OLD LEAVEN, NEITHER WITH THE LEAVEN OF MALICE AND WICKEDNESS; BUT WITH THE UNLEAVENED [BREAD] OF SINCERITY AND TRUTH.

1k22.17 And he said, I SAW ALL ISRAEL SCATTERED UPON THE HILLS, AS SHEEP THAT HAVE NOT A SHEPHERD: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace. [nu27.17; 2ch18.16; zc10.2; mt9.36; mk6.34]

2ch18.16 Then he said, I DID SEE ALL ISRAEL SCATTERED UPON THE MOUNTAINS, AS SHEEP THAT HAVE NO SHEPHERD: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return [therefore] every man to his house in peace. [nu27.17; 1k22.17; zc10.2; mt9.36; mk6.34]

Je50.17 >ISRAEL [IS] A SCATTERED SHEEP; the lions have driven [him] away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

Ez34.5 And THEY WERE SCATTERED, BECAUSE [THERE IS] NO SHEPHERD: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

Ez34.6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, MY FLOCK WAS SCATTERED UPON ALL THE FACE OF THE EARTH, and none did search or seek [after them].

Ez34.11 >FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I, [EVEN] I, WILL BOTH SEARCH MY SHEEP, AND SEEK THEM OUT.

Ez34.12 AS A SHEPHERD SEEKETH OUT HIS FLOCK IN THE DAY THAT HE IS AMONG HIS SHEEP [THAT ARE] SCATTERED; SO WILL I SEEK OUT MY SHEEP, AND WILL DELIVER THEM OUT OF ALL PLACES WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN SCATTERED IN THE CLOUDY AND DARK DAY.

Ez34.13 AND I WILL BRING THEM OUT FROM THE PEOPLE, AND GATHER THEM FROM THE COUNTRIES, AND WILL BRING THEM TO THEIR OWN LAND, AND FEED THEM UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL BY THE RIVERS, AND IN ALL THE INHABITED PLACES OF THE COUNTRY.

Zc13.7 >Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: SMITE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. [ps22.6, is53.2-3, da9.26, mk9.12] [mt26.31, mk14.27]

Mt9.36 >But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, AS SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD. [nu27.17; 1k22.17; zc10.2; mk6.34]

Mt26.31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I WILL SMITE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED ABROAD. [zc13.7, mk14.27]

Mk14.27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I WILL SMITE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED. [zc13.7, mt26.31]

1p5.4 AND WHEN THE CHIEF SHEPHERD SHALL APPEAR, YE SHALL RECEIVE A CROWN OF GLORY THAT FADETH NOT AWAY.

Zc11.7 And I will feed THE FLOCK OF SLAUGHTER, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

FIRST FRUITS. This was a handful of the first ripe fruit or grain. 1 Corinthians 15:4,20,23; Acts 26:23, to show that Christ ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT, thus laying the foundation of the resurrection to life.

1co15.3 FOR I DELIVERED UNTO YOU FIRST OF ALL THAT WHICH I ALSO RECEIVED, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES;

1co15.4 And that he was buried, and that HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES:

1co15.20 BUT NOW IS CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD, [AND] BECOME THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT.

1co15.23 BUT EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER: CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS; AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S AT HIS COMING.

Ac26.23 That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

The fruits appear to be connected with

THE FEAST OF WEEKS, at which two loaves of the new flour baken with leaven were waved before the Lord. AND WHEN THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS FULLY COME, the Holy Ghost, the principle of life, came upon the disciples. This, which is the only thing recorded as the antitype of the feast of weeks, is to abide with the church till it shall quicken the bodies of the saints AT HIS COMING. It must now appear evident that the vernal [1st advent] antitypes having begun with the opening of the Gospel Dispensation will close with its close.

Ac2.1 AND WHEN THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS FULLY COME, THEY WERE ALL WITH ONE ACCORD IN ONE PLACE.

1co15.23 BUT EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER: CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS; AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S AT HIS COMING.

1th2.19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our LORD JESUS CHRIST AT HIS COMING?

1j2.28 AND NOW, LITTLE CHILDREN, ABIDE IN HIM; THAT, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE MAY HAVE CONFIDENCE, AND NOT BE ASHAMED BEFORE HIM AT HIS COMING.

From analogy we must conclude that the autumnal antitypes will occupy a period of time relative to that occupied by their types in somewhat the proportion of the vernal antitypes. . In other words, the period of their fulfilment must constitute a dispensation of many years.

THE SANCTUARY

The Sanctuary was the heart of the typical system. There the Lord placed his name, manifested his glory, and held converse with the High Priest relative to the welfare of Israel. While we inquire from the scriptures what the sanctuary is, let all educational prejudice be dismissed from the mind. For the Bible clearly defines what the Sanctuary is, and answers every reasonable question you may ask concerning it.

The name, sanctuary, is applied to several different things in the O.T.; neither did the Wonderful Numberer, tell Daniel WHAT sanctuary was to be cleansed at the end of the 2,300 days but called it THE SANCTUARY, as though Daniel well understood it, and that he did is evident from the fact that he did not ask what it was. But as it has now became a matter of dispute as to what the sanctuary is, our only safety lies in seeking from the N.T. the Divine comment upon it. Its decisions should place the matter beyond all controversy with Christians.

Da8.14 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, UNTO TWO THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED DAYS; THEN SHALL THE SANCTUARY BE CLEANSED {margin, justified}.

Paul freely discusses this subject in his Epistle to the Hebrews, to whom the typical covenant pertained. He takes up their TABLES of the law, which had then become a snare to them, admits all they claim relative to their primitive use and importance, and then explains their object, and end. Hebrews 9:1. THEN VERILY THE FIRST [COVENANT] HAD ALSO ORDINANCES OF DIVINE SERVICE, AND A WORLDLY SANCTUARY, (ch. 13:11). He9.2-5 FOR THERE WAS A TABERNACLE MADE; THE FIRST, WHEREIN [WAS] THE CANDLESTICK, AND THE TABLE, AND THE SHOWBREAD; WHICH IS CALLED THE SANCTUARY. [(Hagin) Holy]. AND AFTER THE SECOND VEIL, THE TABERNACLE WHICH IS CALLED THE HOLIEST OF ALL [(Hagia Hagion) Holy of Holies]; WHICH HAD THE GOLDEN CENSER, AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OVERLAID ROUND ABOUT WITH GOLD, WHEREIN [WAS] THE GOLDEN POT THAT HAD MANNA, AND AARON’S ROD THAT BUDDED, AND THE TABLES OF THE COVENANT; AND OVER IT THE CHERUBIMS OF GLORY SHADOWING THE MERCYSEAT; OF WHICH WE CANNOT NOW SPEAK PARTICULARLY.

Ex24.12 >AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, COME UP TO ME INTO THE MOUNT, AND BE THERE: AND I WILL GIVE THEE TABLES OF STONE, AND A LAW, AND COMMANDMENTS WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN; THAT THOU MAYEST TEACH THEM.

2co3.3 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of CHRIST ministered by us, written not with ink, but with THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD; not in TABLES of stone, but in fleshly TABLES of the heart.

He9.1 THEN VERILY THE FIRST [COVENANT] HAD ALSO ORDINANCES OF DIVINE SERVICE, AND A WORLDLY SANCTUARY.

He9.2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein [was] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the sanctuary.

He9.3 And AFTER THE SECOND VEIL, THE TABERNACLE which is called the Holiest of all;

He9.4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and THE TABLES OF THE COVENANT;

He7.12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity A CHANGE ALSO OF THE LAW.

He7.19 FOR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE [DID]; BY THE WHICH WE DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD.

He7.28 FOR THE LAW MAKETH MEN HIGH PRIESTS WHICH HAVE INFIRMITY; BUT THE WORD OF THE OATH, WHICH WAS SINCE THE LAW, [MAKETH] THE SON, WHO IS CONSECRATED FOR EVERMORE.

He8.10 FOR THIS [IS] THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAITH THE LORD; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND, AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: AND I WILL BE TO THEM A GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE TO ME A PEOPLE:

He9.1 THEN VERILY THE FIRST [COVENANT] HAD ALSO ORDINANCES OF DIVINE SERVICE, AND A WORLDLY SANCTUARY.

He9.2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein [was] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the sanctuary.

He9.3 And AFTER THE SECOND VEIL, THE TABERNACLE which is called the Holiest of all;

He9.5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

He9.22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD IS NO REMISSION.

He10.16 THIS [IS] THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAITH THE LORD, I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS, AND IN THEIR MINDS WILL I WRITE THEM;

He10.17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

He13.11 FOR THE BODIES OF THOSE BEASTS, WHOSE BLOOD IS BROUGHT INTO THE SANCTUARY BY THE HIGH PRIEST FOR SIN, ARE BURNED WITHOUT THE CAMP.

He13.12 WHEREFORE JESUS ALSO, THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY THE PEOPLE WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, SUFFERED WITHOUT THE GATE.

A particular description is found in the last four books of the Pentateuch. SANCTUARY was the first name the Lord gave it; Exodus 25:8, which name covers not only the tabernacle with its two apartments, but also the court and all the vessels of the ministry. – This, Paul calls the Sanctuary of the first covenant, WHICH [WAS] A FIGURE FOR THE TIME THEN PRESENT, IN WHICH WERE OFFERED BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES, Hebrews 9:9.

Ex15.17 THOU SHALT BRING THEM IN, AND PLANT THEM IN THE MOUNTAIN OF THINE INHERITANCE, [IN] THE PLACE, O LORD, [WHICH] THOU HAST MADE FOR THEE TO DWELL IN, [IN] THE SANCTUARY, O LORD, [WHICH] THY HANDS HAVE ESTABLISHED.

Ex25.8 AND LET THEM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY; THAT I MAY DWELL AMONG THEM.

Ex25.9 ACCORDING TO ALL THAT I SHOW THEE, [AFTER] THE PATTERN OF THE TABERNACLE, AND THE PATTERN OF ALL THE INSTRUMENTS THEREOF, EVEN SO SHALL YE MAKE [IT].

Ex36.1 Then wrought BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB, AND EVERY WISE HEARTED MAN, IN WHOM THE LORD PUT WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO KNOW HOW TO WORK ALL MANNER OF WORK FOR THE SERVICE OF THE SANCTUARY, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

Le4.6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, BEFORE THE VEIL OF THE SANCTUARY.

Le16.34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOR ALL THEIR SINS ONCE A YEAR. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Le19.30 >YE SHALL KEEP MY SABBATHS, AND REVERENCE MY SANCTUARY: I [AM] THE LORD.

Le26.2 >YE SHALL KEEP MY SABBATHS, AND REVERENCE MY SANCTUARY: I [AM] THE LORD.

Nu3.38 >But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, [shall be] Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping THE CHARGE OF THE SANCTUARY for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

Nu4.15 AND WHEN AARON AND HIS SONS HAVE MADE AN END OF COVERING THE SANCTUARY, AND ALL THE VESSELS OF THE SANCTUARY, AS THE CAMP IS TO SET FORWARD; AFTER THAT, THE SONS OF KOHATH SHALL COME TO BEAR [IT]: but they shall not touch [any] holy thing, lest they die. These [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.

Nu8.19 And I have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: THAT THERE BE NO PLAGUE AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL COME NIGH UNTO THE SANCTUARY.

Nu18.1 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO AARON, THOU AND THY SONS AND THY FATHER’S HOUSE WITH THEE SHALL BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE SANCTUARY: AND THOU AND THY SONS WITH THEE SHALL BEAR THE INIQUITY OF YOUR PRIESTHOOD.

He9.9 WHICH [WAS] A FIGURE FOR THE TIME THEN PRESENT, IN WHICH WERE OFFERED BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES, that could NOT make him that did the service PERFECT, as pertaining to the conscience;

BUT CHRIST BEING COME AN HIGH PRIEST OF GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, NOT MADE WITH HANDS, verse 11. The priests entered the FIGURES or PATTERNS – OF THE TRUE, which true, are the HEAVENLY THINGS THEMSELVES into which Christ entered when he entered HEAVEN ITSELF; verses 23,24. When he ascended to the right hand of the Father IN THE HEAVENS he became A MINISTER OF THE SANCTUARY (Hagion, Holies) AND OF THE TRUE TABERNACLE, WHICH THE LORD PITCHED AND NOT MAN; Ch 8: 1,2. That is the Sanctuary of the BETTER (the new) COVENANT, verse 6.

He9.11 BUT CHRIST BEING COME AN HIGH PRIEST OF {ton} GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, NOT MADE WITH HANDS, that is to say, not of this building;

He9.23 [IT WAS] THEREFORE NECESSARY THAT THE PATTERNS OF THINGS IN THE HEAVENS SHOULD BE PURIFIED WITH THESE; BUT THE HEAVENLY THINGS THEMSELVES WITH BETTER SACRIFICES THAN THESE.

He9.24 FOR CHRIST IS NOT ENTERED INTO THE HOLY PLACES MADE WITH HANDS, [WHICH ARE] THE FIGURES OF THE TRUE; BUT INTO HEAVEN ITSELF, NOW TO APPEAR IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOR US: [If you appear in someone else’s PRESENCE, how can you be that person? You cannot. You must be different and separate.]

He8.1 NOW OF THE THINGS WHICH WE HAVE SPOKEN [THIS IS] THE SUM: WE HAVE SUCH AN HIGH PRIEST, WHO IS SET ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF THE MAJESTY IN THE HEAVENS;

He8.2 A MINISTER OF THE SANCTUARY, AND OF THE TRUE TABERNACLE, WHICH THE LORD PITCHED, AND NOT MAN.

Ps2.4 HE THAT SITTETH IN THE HEAVENS SHALL LAUGH: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Ps18.13 THE LORD ALSO THUNDERED IN THE HEAVENS, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.

Ps36.5 THY MERCY, O LORD, [IS] IN THE HEAVENS; [AND] THY FAITHFULNESS [REACHETH] UNTO THE CLOUDS.

Ps103.19 THE LORD HATH PREPARED HIS THRONE IN THE HEAVENS; AND HIS KINGDOM RULETH OVER ALL.

Ps115.3 BUT OUR GOD [IS] IN THE HEAVENS: HE HATH DONE WHATSOEVER HE HATH PLEASED.

Ps123.1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O THOU THAT DWELLEST IN THE HEAVENS.

La3.41 Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto GOD IN THE HEAVENS.

2co5.1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, WE HAVE A BUILDING OF GOD, AN HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS.

2p3.12 LOOKING FOR AND HASTING UNTO THE COMING OF THE DAY OF GOD, WHEREIN THE HEAVENS BEING ON FIRE SHALL BE DISSOLVED, AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT?

He8.6 BUT NOW HATH HE OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY, BY HOW MUCH ALSO HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon better promises.

The SANCTUARY to be cleansed at the end of the 2,300 days is also the SANCTUARY of the new covenant, for the vision of the treading down and cleansing, is after the crucifixion. We see that the Sanctuary of the new covenant is not on earth, but in heaven. – The true tabernacle which forms a part of the new covenant Sanctuary, was made and pitched by the Lord, in contradiction (contradistinction – Crozier later explained that this word was incorrectly printed) to that of the first covenant which was made and pitched by man, in obedience to the command of God. Exodus 25:8.

Now what does the same Apostle say the Lord has pitched! A CITY WHICH HATH FOUNDATIONS, WHOSE BUILDER AND MAKER [IS] GOD; Hebrews 11:10. What is its name? THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM; ch. 12:22, Revelation 21: A BUILDING OF GOD, AN HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS; 2 Corinthians 5:1. IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS John 14:2. When our Saviour was at Jerusalem and had pronounced its house desolate, the disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. Then he said: THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT HERE ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER, THAT SHALL NOT BE THROWN DOWN. Matthew 24:1,2. That temple was their Sanctuary: 1 Chronicles 22:17-19; 28:9-13; 2 Chronicles 29:5,21; 36:14,17. Such an announcement would tend to fill them with sadness and fear, as foretelling the derangement, if not the total prostration of their entire religious system. But to comfort and teach them, he says, IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS. John 14:1-3.

He11.10 FOR HE [Abraham] LOOKED FOR A CITY WHICH HATH FOUNDATIONS, WHOSE BUILDER AND MAKER [IS] GOD.

He12.22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD, THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, and to an innumerable company of angels,

2co5.1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, WE HAVE A BUILDING OF GOD, AN HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS.

Jn14.1 LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.

Jn14.2 IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS: IF [IT WERE] NOT [SO], I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. {Jesus confirms God as His Father in a singular context – no plural God.}

Jn14.3 AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, [THERE] YE MAY BE ALSO.

Mt24.1 AND JESUS WENT OUT, AND DEPARTED FROM THE TEMPLE: AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO [HIM] FOR TO SHOW HIM THE BUILDINGS OF THE TEMPLE.

Mt24.2 AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, SEE YE NOT ALL THESE THINGS? VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT HERE ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER, THAT SHALL NOT BE THROWN DOWN.

1ch22.17 >David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],

1ch22.18 [Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he [not] given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

1ch22.19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and BUILD YE THE SANCTUARY of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

1ch28.9 >And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

1ch28.10 Take heed now; for THE LORD HATH CHOSEN THEE TO BUILD AN HOUSE FOR THE SANCTUARY: be strong, and do [it].

1ch28.11 >Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

1ch28.12 And the pattern of all that he had BY THE SPIRIT, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:

1ch28.13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

2ch29.5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy [place].

2ch29.21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer [them] on the altar of the LORD.

2ch36.14 >Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

2ch36.17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword IN THE HOUSE OF THEIR SANCTUARY, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave [them] all into his hand.

Standing, as he was, on the dividing line between the typical covenant and the anti-typical, and having just declared the house of the former no longer valid, and foretold its destruction; how natural that he should point his disciples to the Sanctuary of the latter, about which their affections and interests were to cluster as they had about that of the former. The Sanctuary of the new covenant is connected with New Jerusalem, like the Sanctuary of the first covenant was with Old Jerusalem. As that was the place where the priests of that covenant ministered, so this is in heaven, the place where the Priest of the new covenant ministers. To these places, AND THESE ONLY, the New Testament applies the name SANCTUARY, and it does appear that this should forever set the question at rest.

But as we have been so long and industriously taught to look to the earth for the Sanctuary, it may be proper to inquire, By what scriptural authority have we been thus taught? I can find none. If others can, let them produce it. Let it be remembered that the definition of Sanctuary is “a holy or sacred place.” Is the earth, is Palestine such a place? Their entire contents answer, No! Was Daniel so taught? Look at his vision. AND THE PLACE OF HIS SANCTUARY WAS CAST DOWN; Daniel. 8:11. This casting down was in the days and by the means of the Roman power; therefore, the Sanctuary of this text was not the Earth, nor Palestine [as the Millerites had taught], because the former was cast down at the fall, more than 4000 years, and the latter at the captivity, more than 700 years, previous to the event of this passage, and neither by Roman agency.

Da8.11 YEA, HE MAGNIFIED [HIMSELF] EVEN TO THE PRINCE OF THE HOST, AND BY HIM THE DAILY [SACRIFICE] WAS TAKEN AWAY, AND THE PLACE OF HIS SANCTUARY WAS CAST DOWN.

The Sanctuary cast down is his against whom Rome magnified himself, which was the Prince of the host, Jesus Christ; and Paul teaches that his Sanctuary is in heaven. Again, Daniel 11:30,31, FOR THE SHIPS OF CHITTIM SHALL COME AGAINST HIM: THEREFORE HE SHALL BE GRIEVED, AND RETURN, AND HAVE INDIGNATION (the staff to chastise) AGAINST THE HOLY COVENANT (Christianity): SO SHALL HE DO; HE SHALL EVEN RETURN, AND HAVE INTELLIGENCE WITH THEM (priests and bishops) THAT FORSAKE THE HOLY COVENANT (Christianity). AND ARMS (civil and religious) SHALL STAND ON HIS PART, AND THEY SHALL POLLUTE THE SANCTUARY OF STRENGTH.

Da11.30 >FOR THE SHIPS OF CHITTIM SHALL COME AGAINST HIM: THEREFORE HE SHALL BE GRIEVED, AND RETURN, AND HAVE INDIGNATION (the staff to chastise) AGAINST THE HOLY COVENANT (Christianity): SO SHALL HE DO; HE SHALL EVEN RETURN, AND HAVE INTELLIGENCE WITH THEM (priests and bishops) THAT FORSAKE THE HOLY COVENANT (Christianity).

Da11.31 AND ARMS (civil and religious) SHALL STAND ON HIS PART, AND THEY SHALL POLLUTE THE SANCTUARY OF STRENGTH, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and they (Rome and those that forsake the holy covenant) shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

What was this that Rome and the apostles of Christianity should jointly pollute? This combination was formed against THE HOLY COVENANT and it was the Sanctuary of that covenant they polluted; which they could do as well as to pollute the name of God; Jeremiah 34:16; Ezekiel 20; Malachi 1:7. This was the same as profaning or blaspheming his name. In this sense this “politico-religious” beast polluted the Sanctuary, (Revelation 13:6,) and cast it down from its place in heaven, (Psalm 102:19; Jeremiah 17:12; Hebrews 8:1,2) when they called Rome the holy city, (Revelation 21:2) and installed the Pope there with the titles, “Lord God the Pope,” “Holy Father,” “Head of the Church.” &c., and there, in the counterfeit “temple of God ” he professes to do what Jesus actually does in his Sanctuary; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8. The Sanctuary has been trodden underfoot (Daniel 8:13), the same as the Son of God has; Hebrews 10:29.

Da11.28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart [shall be] against THE HOLY COVENANT; and he shall do [exploits], and return to his own land.

Lk1.72 To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember HIS HOLY COVENANT;

Lk1.73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

Je34.16 But ye turned and POLLUTED MY NAME, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom HE YE had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

Ez20.8 BUT THEY REBELLED AGAINST ME, AND WOULD NOT HEARKEN UNTO ME: THEY DID NOT EVERY MAN CAST AWAY THE ABOMINATIONS OF THEIR EYES, NEITHER DID THEY FORSAKE THE IDOLS OF EGYPT: THEN I SAID, I WILL POUR OUT MY FURY UPON THEM, TO ACCOMPLISH MY ANGER AGAINST THEM IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.

Ez20.9 BUT I WROUGHT FOR MY NAME’S SAKE, THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE POLLUTED BEFORE THE HEATHEN, AMONG WHOM THEY [WERE], IN WHOSE SIGHT I MADE MYSELF KNOWN UNTO THEM, IN BRINGING THEM FORTH OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.

Ez20.13 BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL REBELLED AGAINST ME IN THE WILDERNESS: THEY WALKED NOT IN MY STATUTES, AND THEY DESPISED MY JUDGMENTS, WHICH [IF] A MAN DO, HE SHALL EVEN LIVE IN THEM; AND MY SABBATHS THEY GREATLY POLLUTED: THEN I SAID, I WOULD POUR OUT MY FURY UPON THEM IN THE WILDERNESS, TO CONSUME THEM. [le18.5; ez20.11,21; ro10.5; ga3.12]

Ez20.14 BUT I WROUGHT FOR MY NAME’S SAKE, THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE POLLUTED BEFORE THE HEATHEN, IN WHOSE SIGHT I BROUGHT THEM OUT.

Ez20.16 BECAUSE THEY DESPISED MY JUDGMENTS, AND WALKED NOT IN MY STATUTES, BUT POLLUTED MY SABBATHS: FOR THEIR HEART WENT AFTER THEIR IDOLS.

Ez20.21 NOTWITHSTANDING THE CHILDREN REBELLED AGAINST ME: THEY WALKED NOT IN MY STATUTES, NEITHER KEPT MY JUDGMENTS TO DO THEM, WHICH [IF] A MAN DO, HE SHALL EVEN LIVE IN THEM; THEY POLLUTED MY SABBATHS: THEN I SAID, I WOULD POUR OUT MY FURY UPON THEM, TO ACCOMPLISH MY ANGER AGAINST THEM IN THE WILDERNESS. [le18.5; ez20.11,13; ro10.5; ga3.12]

Ez20.22 NEVERTHELESS I WITHDREW MINE HAND, AND WROUGHT FOR MY NAME’S SAKE, THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE POLLUTED IN THE SIGHT OF THE HEATHEN, IN WHOSE SIGHT I BROUGHT THEM FORTH.

Ez20.23 I LIFTED UP MINE HAND UNTO THEM ALSO IN THE WILDERNESS, THAT I WOULD SCATTER THEM AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND DISPERSE THEM THROUGH THE COUNTRIES;

Ez20.24 BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT EXECUTED MY JUDGMENTS, BUT HAD DESPISED MY STATUTES, AND HAD POLLUTED MY SABBATHS, AND THEIR EYES WERE AFTER THEIR FATHERS’ IDOLS.

Ez20.25 WHEREFORE I GAVE THEM ALSO STATUTES [THAT WERE] NOT GOOD, AND JUDGMENTS WHEREBY THEY SHOULD NOT LIVE;

Ez20.26 AND I POLLUTED THEM IN THEIR OWN GIFTS, IN THAT THEY CAUSED TO PASS THROUGH [THE FIRE] ALL THAT OPENETH THE WOMB, THAT I MIGHT MAKE THEM DESOLATE, TO THE END THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I [AM] THE LORD.

Ez20.30 WHEREFORE SAY UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; ARE YE POLLUTED AFTER THE MANNER OF YOUR FATHERS? AND COMMIT YE WHOREDOM AFTER THEIR ABOMINATIONS?

Ez20.31 FOR WHEN YE OFFER YOUR GIFTS, WHEN YE MAKE YOUR SONS TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, YE POLLUTE YOURSELVES WITH ALL YOUR IDOLS, EVEN UNTO THIS DAY: AND SHALL I BE INQUIRED OF BY YOU, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL? [AS] I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, I WILL NOT BE INQUIRED OF BY YOU.

Ez20.39 AS FOR YOU, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; GO YE, SERVE YE EVERY ONE HIS IDOLS, AND HEREAFTER [ALSO], IF YE WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO ME: BUT POLLUTE YE MY HOLY NAME NO MORE WITH YOUR GIFTS, AND WITH YOUR IDOLS.

Ml1.7 YE OFFER POLLUTED BREAD UPON MINE ALTAR; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD [is] contemptible.

Daniel prayed, CAUSE THY FACE TO SHINE UPON THY SANCTUARY THAT IS DESOLATE; Daniel 9:17. – This was the typical Sanctuary built by Solomon. THOU HAST COMMANDED ME TO BUILD A TEMPLE UPON THY HOLY MOUNT, AND AN ALTAR IN THE CITY WHEREIN THOU DWELLEST, A RESEMBLANCE OF THY HOLY TABERNACLE, WHICH THOU HAST PREPARED FROM THE BEGINNING: Wisdom of Solomon 9:8; 1 Chronicles 28:10-13. It has shared in the 70 years desolations of Jerusalem; Daniel 9:2; 2 Chronicles 36:14-21. It was rebuilt after the captivity; Nehemiah 10:39.

Da9.17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and CAUSE THY FACE TO SHINE UPON THY SANCTUARY THAT IS DESOLATE, for the Lord’s sake.

Wisdom of Solomon 9:8 You gave a command to build a sanctuary on your holy mountain, and† an altar in the city where you live, a copy of the holy tent which you prepared from the beginning. † Or, a place of sacrifice.

1ch28.10 Take heed now; for THE LORD HATH CHOSEN THEE TO BUILD AN HOUSE FOR THE SANCTUARY: be strong, and do [it].

1ch28.13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

Da9.1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;

Da9.2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

2ch36.15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

2ch36.16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy.

2ch36.18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all [these] he brought to Babylon.

2ch36.19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

2ch36.20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

2ch36.21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: [for] as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

Ne10.39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where [are] the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and WE WILL NOT FORSAKE THE HOUSE OF OUR GOD.

Moses received the patterns of the Sanctuary, built at Sinai when he was with the Lord 40 days in the cloud on the Mount; and Daniel [David – Crozier later explained that this word was incorrectly printed] received the patterns of that built by Solomon, which superseded Moses’ with its chambers, porches, courts, the courses of the priests and Levites and all the vessels of service, &c., BY THE SPIRIT, 1 Chronicles 28:10-13. It is manifest that both Moses and David had prophetic visions of the New Jerusalem with its Sanctuary and Christ, the officiating Priest. When that built by Moses was superseded by Solomon’s, the Ark was borne from the former to the latter: 2 Chronicles 5:2-8. The Sanctuary comprehended not only the Tabernacle, but also all the vessels of the ministry, enclosed by the court in which the tabernacle stood; Numbers 3:29-31; 10:17,21. So the court in which the Temple stood was properly called the Sanctuary. — Prideaux.

1ch28.13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

2ch5.2 >Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.

2ch5.3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which [was] in the seventh month.

2ch5.4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

2ch5.5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, these did the priests [and] the Levites bring up.

2ch5.6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

2ch5.7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims:

2ch5.8 For the cherubims spread forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

Nu3.28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [were] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

Nu3.29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.

Nu3.30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

Nu3.31 And their charge [shall be] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and THE VESSELS OF THE SANCTUARY wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

Nu10.17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.

Nu10.21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.

We learn the same from 2 Chronicles 29:18, 21. WE HAVE CLEANSED ALL THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, AND THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING, WITH ALL THE VESSELS THEREOF, AND THE SHOWBREAD TABLE, WITH ALL THE VESSELS THEREOF. The altar of burnt-offering with its vessels stood before the Temple in the inner court, the whole of which are in verse 21 called the Sanctuary.

2ch29.18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, WE HAVE CLEANSED ALL THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, AND THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING, WITH ALL THE VESSELS THEREOF, AND THE SHOWBREAD TABLE, WITH ALL THE VESSELS THEREOF.

Well, says one, is not Palestine called the Sanctuary? I think not. Exodus 15:17, THOU SHALT BRING THEM IN, AND PLANT THEM IN THE MOUNTAIN OF THINE INHERITANCE, [IN] THE PLACE, O LORD, [WHICH] THOU HAST MADE FOR THEE TO DWELL IN, [IN] THE SANCTUARY, O LORD, [WHICH] THY HANDS HAVE ESTABLISHED. What is it which the Lord HAST MADE FOR THEE TO DWELL IN, which his HANDS HAVE ESTABLISHED? Paul says it is A CITY; Hebrews 11:10; a TABERNACLE, Hebrews .8:2. A BUILDING … IN THE HEAVENS, 2 Corinthians 5:1. And the Lord has chosen Mt. Zion in Palestine for the place of its final location; Psalm 132:13,14. FOR THE LORD HATH CHOSEN ZION; HE HATH DESIRED [IT] FOR HIS HABITATION. THIS [IS] MY REST FOR EVER: HERE WILL I DWELL; FOR I HAVE DESIRED IT. AND HE BROUGHT THEM TO THE BORDER OF HIS SANCTUARY, [EVEN TO] THIS MOUNTAIN; (Psalm 78:54) which was its chosen border or place; but not the Sanctuary itself, any more than Mt. Moriah, on which the Temple was built, was the Temple itself. Did THEY regard that land as the Sanctuary? If they did not, we should not.

Jo21.2 And they spake unto them at SHILOH in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us CITIES TO DWELL IN, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.

2s7.5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, SHALT THOU BUILD ME AN HOUSE FOR ME TO DWELL IN?

1k8.12 >THEN SPAKE SOLOMON, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

1k8.13 I HAVE SURELY BUILT THEE AN HOUSE TO DWELL IN, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

1ch17.3 >And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

1ch17.4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, THOU SHALT NOT BUILD ME AN HOUSE TO DWELL IN:

1ch17.5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].

Ez36.33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause [you] TO DWELL IN THE CITIES, and THE WASTES SHALL BE BUILDED.

Ho12.9 And I [that am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will YET MAKE THEE TO DWELL IN TABERNACLES, as in the days of the solemn feast.

He11.10 FOR HE [Abraham] LOOKED FOR A CITY WHICH HATH FOUNDATIONS, WHOSE BUILDER AND MAKER [IS] GOD.

He8.2 A MINISTER OF THE SANCTUARY, AND OF THE TRUE TABERNACLE, WHICH THE LORD PITCHED, AND NOT MAN.

2co5.1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, WE HAVE A BUILDING OF GOD, AN HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS.

Ps132.13 FOR THE LORD HATH CHOSEN ZION; HE HATH DESIRED [IT] FOR HIS HABITATION.

Ps132.14 THIS [IS] MY REST FOR EVER: HERE WILL I DWELL; FOR I HAVE DESIRED IT.

Ps78.54 AND HE BROUGHT THEM TO THE BORDER OF HIS SANCTUARY, [EVEN TO] THIS MOUNTAIN, [WHICH] HIS RIGHT HAND HAD PURCHASED.

A view of the texts in which the word occurs will show: AND LET THEM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY; (Exodus 25:8), THE SHEKEL OF THE SANCTUARY (Exodus 30:13) and above twenty others like it. THEN WROUGHT BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB, AND EVERY WISE HEARTED MAN, IN WHOM THE LORD PUT WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO KNOW HOW TO WORK ALL MANNER OF WORK FOR THE SERVICE OF THE SANCTUARY; Exodus 36:1, [see Exodus 36:1-6]. BEFORE THE VEIL OF THE SANCTUARY; Leviticus 4:6. CARRY YOUR BRETHREN FROM BEFORE THE SANCTUARY; Leviticus 16:33. REVERENCE MY SANCTUARY Leviticus 19:30; 26:2. NOR PROFANE THE SANCTUARY OF HIS GOD; Leviticus 21:12. THE VESSELS OF THE SANCTUARY; Numbers 3:31. CHARGE OF THE SANCTUARY; Numbers 3:32,38. THEY MINISTER IN THE SANCTUARY; Numbers 4:12. IN THE SANCTUARY, AND IN THE VESSELS THEREOF; verse 16. AND WHEN AARON AND HIS SONS HAVE MADE AN END OF COVERING THE SANCTUARY, AND ALL THE VESSELS OF THE SANCTUARY, AS THE CAMP IS TO SET FORWARD; AFTER THAT, THE SONS OF KOHATH SHALL COME TO BEAR [IT]; Numbers 4:15; 7:9; 10:21.

Ex25.8 AND LET THEM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY; THAT I MAY DWELL AMONG THEM.

Ex30.13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after THE SHEKEL OF THE SANCTUARY: (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs:) an half shekel [shall be] the offering of the LORD.

Ex36.2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, [even] every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

Ex36.3 And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it [withal]. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

Ex36.4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

Ex36.5 >And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

Ex36.6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

Le4.6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, BEFORE THE VEIL OF THE SANCTUARY.

Le10.4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, CARRY YOUR BRETHREN FROM BEFORE THE SANCTUARY out of the camp.

Le19.30 >YE SHALL KEEP MY SABBATHS, AND REVERENCE MY SANCTUARY: I [AM] THE LORD.

Le26.2 >YE SHALL KEEP MY SABBATHS, AND REVERENCE MY SANCTUARY: I [AM] THE LORD.

Le21.12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, NOR PROFANE THE SANCTUARY OF HIS GOD; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God [is] upon him: I [am] the LORD.

Nu3.31 And their charge [shall be] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and THE VESSELS OF THE SANCTUARY wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

Nu3.32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [shall be] chief over the chief of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep THE CHARGE OF THE SANCTUARY.

Nu4.12 And they shall take all the instruments of MINISTRY, wherewith THEY MINISTER IN THE SANCTUARY, and put [them] in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put [them] on a bar:

Nu4.16 >And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [pertaineth] the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, [and] the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein [is], IN THE SANCTUARY, AND IN THE VESSELS THEREOF.

Nu7.9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them [was that] they should bear upon their shoulders.

Nu10.21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.

THAT THERE BE NO PLAGUE AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL COME NIGH UNTO THE SANCTUARY; Numbers 8:19. THOU AND THY SONS AND THY FATHER’S HOUSE WITH THEE SHALL BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE SANCTUARY; Numbers 18:1. HE HATH DEFILED THE SANCTUARY OF THE LORD; Numbers 19:20. Joshua TOOK A GREAT STONE, AND SET IT UP THERE UNDER AN OAK, THAT [WAS] BY THE SANCTUARY OF THE LORD; Joshua 24:26, ALL THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE SANCTUARY; 1 Chronicles 9:29. BUILD YE THE SANCTUARY; 1 Chronicles 22:19. GOVERNORS OF THE sanctuary; 1 Chronicles 24:5. THE LORD HATH CHOSEN THEE TO BUILD AN HOUSE FOR THE SANCTUARY; 1 Chronicles 28:10; 2 Chronicles 20:8. GO OUT OF THE SANCTUARY; 2 Chronicles 26:18; 29:21; 30:8. PURIFICATION OF THE SANCTUARY; 2 Chronicles 30:19; 36:17.

Nu19.20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because HE HATH DEFILED THE SANCTUARY OF THE LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.

Jo24.26 >And Joshua wrote these words in THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF GOD, AND TOOK A GREAT STONE, AND SET IT UP THERE UNDER AN OAK, THAT [WAS] BY THE SANCTUARY OF THE LORD.

1ch9.29 [Some] of them also [were] appointed to oversee the vessels and ALL THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE SANCTUARY, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

1ch24.5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the GOVERNORS OF THE SANCTUARY, and governors [of the house] of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

1ch28.10 Take heed now; for THE LORD HATH CHOSEN THEE TO BUILD AN HOUSE FOR THE SANCTUARY: be strong, and do [it].

2ch20.8 And they dwelt therein, and HAVE BUILT THEE A SANCTUARY THEREIN FOR THY NAME, saying,

2ch20.9 If, [when] evil cometh upon us, [as] the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name [is] in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

2ch26.18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, [It appertaineth] not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: GO OUT OF THE SANCTUARY; for thou hast trespassed; neither [shall it be] for thine honour from the LORD God.

2ch30.19 [That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the PURIFICATION OF THE SANCTUARY.

2ch36.18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all [these] he brought to Babylon.

2ch36.19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

I have given nearly every text, and, I believe every different form of expression in which the word occurs till we come to the Psalms; so that every one can see what they understood the Sanctuary to be. And of the fifty texts quoted, not one applies it to the land of Palestine, nor any land. That Sanctuary, though enclosed with curtains, was called “the house of the Lord,” (Judges 18:31; 1 Samuel 1:7,24), and was pitched at the city of Shiloah at the time of dividing the land; Judges 18:1,10, hence it was called the TABERNACLE OF SHILOH, (safety and happiness), Psalm 78:60. The Lord forsook it when the Philistines took the Ark (1 Samuel 4:3-11) and DELIVERED HIS STRENGTH INTO CAPTIVITY, AND HIS GLORY INTO THE ENEMY’S HAND; Psalm 78:21.

The word ‘Shiloh’ is a Hebrew word—a name, really, that has two meanings attached to it. One is “gift from God,” the other is “peaceful one.” Shiloh is a Biblical place, mentioned in Genesis 49:10. meaning Heavenly Peace and representing the Messiah. According to the Bible, Shiloh was the central sanctuary of the Israelites during the pre-monarchic period, before the First Temple in Jerusalem was built. After the Israelite conquest of Canaan, the Tabernacle was moved to Shiloh, and remained there during the period of the biblical judges. Shiloh was a Canaanite town that became the central sanctuary site of the Israelite confederacy during the period of the judges (12th–11th century BC). After the Israelite conquest of Canaan, the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant were installed in Shiloh until the Ark was captured by the Philistines (c. 1050 BC) in a battle with the Israelites at Ebenezer (site unknown), and Shiloh was soon thereafter destroyed. Excavations at Khirbat Say?n, Jordan, during 1920–32 suggest that Shiloh remained a ruin for several centuries. “Shiloh” is a name of the Messiah Jesus Christ. The name Shiloah means Sent or Conducted – verb: to send out or to let go. Shiloah is also the name of a pool outside Jerusalem mentioned by Isaiah (8:6) and by Nehemiah (3:15). In the New Testament this name returns as Siloam (Luke 13:4, John 9:7). Variants of Shiloh include Siloam; Siloah; Shelah and Shiloah.

Ge49.10 THE SCEPTRE SHALL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH, NOR A LAWGIVER FROM BETWEEN HIS FEET, UNTIL SHILOH COME; AND UNTO HIM [SHALL] THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE [BE].

Jo18.1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at SHILOH, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

Jo18.8 >And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in SHILOH.

Jo18.9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host at SHILOH.

Jo18.10 >And Joshua cast lots for them in SHILOH before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

Jo19.51 These [are] the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in SHILOH before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.

Jo21.2 And they spake unto them at SHILOH in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us CITIES TO DWELL IN, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.

Jo22.9 >And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of SHILOH, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Jo22.12 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at SHILOH, to go up to war against them.

Ju18.1 In those days [there was] no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day [all their] inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.

Ju18.10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where [there is] no want of any thing that [is] in the earth.

Ju18.30 >And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

Ju18.31 And they set them up Micah’s graven image, which he made, all the time that THE HOUSE OF GOD WAS IN SHILOH.

1s1.4 >And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

1s1.5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.

1s1.6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.

1s1.7 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

1s4.3 >And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

1s4.4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth [between] the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God.

1s4.5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

1s4.6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What [meaneth] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.

1s4.7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.

1s4.8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

1s4.9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.

1s4.10 >And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

1s4.11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

1s4.21 And she [Phinehas’ wife] named the child Ichabod, saying, THE GLORY IS DEPARTED FROM ISRAEL: BECAUSE THE ARK OF GOD WAS TAKEN, and because of her father in law and her husband.

Ne3.15 But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of THE POOL OF SILOAH by the king’s garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.

Is8.5 >The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

Is8.6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth THE WATERS OF SHILOAH that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;

Je7.12 But go ye now unto my place which [was] in SHILOH, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

Je7.13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

Je7.14 Therefore will I do unto [this] house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to SHILOH.

Je26.6 Then will I make this house like SHILOH, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

Je26.9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like SHILOH, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

Je41.5 That there came certain from Shechem, from SHILOH, and from Samaria, [even] fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring [them] to the house of the LORD.

Ps78.58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

Ps78.59 When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

Ps78.60 So that he forsook THE TABERNACLE OF SHILOH, the tent [which] he placed among men;

Ps78.61 AND DELIVERED HIS STRENGTH INTO CAPTIVITY, AND HIS GLORY INTO THE ENEMY’S HAND.

Lk13.4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in SILOAM fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

Lk13.5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Jn9.7 And said unto him, Go, wash in THE POOL OF SILOAM, (which is by interpretation, SENT.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

Jn9.11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to THE POOL OF SILOAM, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

It [the Ark] was brought back to Kirjath-jearim (1 Samuel 7:1,2), thence to the house of Obed-edom, thence to the city of David which is Zion, (2 Samuel 6:1-19; 5:9) and thence, at the direction of Solomon, the Ark was conveyed into the Holy of Holies of the temple (1 Kings 8:1-6), which was built in Mount Moriah near Mount Zion: 2 Chronicles 3:1.

1s7.1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

1s7.2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

2s6.1 Again, David gathered together all [the] chosen [men] of Israel, thirty thousand.

2s6.2 And David arose, and went with all the people that [were] with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth [between] the cherubims.

2s6.3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that [was] in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

2s6.4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which [was] at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

2s6.5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

2s6.6 >And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook [it].

2s6.7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the ark of God.

2s6.8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

2s6.9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

2s6.10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM the Gittite.

2s6.11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

2s6.12 >And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM, and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark of God. SO DAVID WENT AND BROUGHT UP THE ARK OF GOD FROM THE HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM INTO THE CITY OF DAVID WITH GLADNESS.

2s6.13 And it was [so], that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

2s6.14 And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might; and David [was] girded with a linen ephod.

2s6.15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

2s6.16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

2s6.17 >And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

2s6.18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

2s6.19 And he dealt among all the people, [even] among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece [of flesh], and a flagon [of wine]. So all the people departed every one to his house.

1ch13.13 So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM the Gittite.

1ch13.14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM, and all that he had.

1ch15.25 >So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM with joy.

2ch25.23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

2ch25.24 And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the HOUSE OF GOD WITH OBEDEDOM, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

2s5.9 SO DAVID DWELT IN THE FORT, AND CALLED IT THE CITY OF DAVID. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

1k8.1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, THAT THEY MIGHT BRING UP THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD OUT OF THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH [IS] ZION.

1k8.2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.

1k8.3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

1k8.4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

1k8.5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

1k8.6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims.

2ch3.1 THEN SOLOMON BEGAN TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD AT JERUSALEM IN MOUNT MORIAH, WHERE [THE LORD] APPEARED UNTO DAVID HIS FATHER, IN THE PLACE THAT DAVID HAD PREPARED IN THE THRESHINGFLOOR OF ORNAN THE JEBUSITE.

The Lord has chosen Zion to dwell in rest forever: (Psalm 132:13, 14) but as yet he had dwelt there but a short time, and then in curtains made with hands; but when he shall appear in his glory he will have MERCY UPON ZION and build it up; then Jerusalem upon it, shall be A QUIET HABITATION, A TABERNACLE [THAT] SHALL NOT BE TAKEN DOWN; (Psalm 102:13; Isaiah 33:20). And then THE PEOPLE SHALL DWELL IN ZION AT JERUSALEM; Isaiah 30:18, 19. The Song of Moses, (Exodus 15) is evidently prophetic, and contemplates the happy scenes of the Eden Zion.

Ps132.13 FOR THE LORD HATH CHOSEN ZION; HE HATH DESIRED [IT] FOR HIS HABITATION.

Ps132.14 THIS [IS] MY REST FOR EVER: HERE WILL I DWELL; FOR I HAVE DESIRED IT.

Ps102.13 THOU SHALT ARISE, [AND] HAVE MERCY UPON ZION: FOR THE TIME TO FAVOUR HER, YEA, THE SET TIME, IS COME.

Is33.20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see JERUSALEM A QUIET HABITATION, A TABERNACLE [THAT] SHALL NOT BE TAKEN DOWN; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

Is30.18 >And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a GOD OF JUDGMENT: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.

Is30.19 For THE PEOPLE SHALL DWELL IN ZION AT JERUSALEM: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

Ex15.1 THEN SANG MOSES AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

Ex15.2 THE LORD [IS] MY STRENGTH AND SONG, AND HE IS BECOME MY SALVATION: HE [IS] MY GOD, AND I WILL PREPARE HIM AN HABITATION; MY FATHER’S GOD, AND I WILL EXALT HIM.

Ex15.3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.

Ex15.4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

Ex15.5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

Ex15.6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Ex15.7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.

Ex15.8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

Ex15.9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

Ex15.10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Ex15.11 Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?

Ex15.12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

Ex15.13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

Ex15.14 The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

Ex15.15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

Ex15.16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, [which] thou hast purchased.

Ex15.18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

Ex15.19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.

Ex15.20 >And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

Ex15.21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

Ex15.22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

Ex15.23 >And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

Ex15.24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

Ex15.25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

Ex15.26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.

Ex15.27 >And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

And so Ezekiel has it. The Lord will bring the whole house of Israel up out of their graves into the land of Israel; and then set his Sanctuary and tabernacle in the midst of them for evermore. The Sanctuary is not “the land of Israel” nor the people; for it is set in their midst, and is built and forms a part of the city whose name is, THE LORD [IS] THERE.

Nu2.17 >Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.

Ez37.1 THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS UPON ME [Ezekiel], AND CARRIED ME OUT IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD, AND SET ME DOWN IN THE MIDST OF THE VALLEY WHICH [WAS] FULL OF BONES,

Ez37.2 AND CAUSED ME TO PASS BY THEM ROUND ABOUT: AND, BEHOLD, [THERE WERE] VERY MANY IN THE OPEN VALLEY; AND, LO, [THEY WERE] VERY DRY.

Ez37.3 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, CAN THESE BONES LIVE? AND I ANSWERED, O LORD GOD, THOU KNOWEST.

Ez37.4 AGAIN HE SAID UNTO ME, PROPHESY UPON THESE BONES, AND SAY UNTO THEM, O YE DRY BONES, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD.

Ez37.5 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD UNTO THESE BONES; BEHOLD, I WILL CAUSE BREATH TO ENTER INTO YOU, AND YE SHALL LIVE:

Ez37.6 AND I WILL LAY SINEWS UPON YOU, AND WILL BRING UP FLESH UPON YOU, AND COVER YOU WITH SKIN, AND PUT BREATH IN YOU, AND YE SHALL LIVE; AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I [AM] THE LORD.

Ez37.7 SO I PROPHESIED AS I WAS COMMANDED: AND AS I PROPHESIED, THERE WAS A NOISE, AND BEHOLD A SHAKING, AND THE BONES CAME TOGETHER, BONE TO HIS BONE.

Ez37.8 AND WHEN I BEHELD, LO, THE SINEWS AND THE FLESH CAME UP UPON THEM, AND THE SKIN COVERED THEM ABOVE: BUT [THERE WAS] NO BREATH IN THEM.

Ez37.9 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, PROPHESY UNTO THE WIND, PROPHESY, SON OF MAN, AND SAY TO THE WIND, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; COME FROM THE FOUR WINDS, O BREATH, AND BREATHE UPON THESE SLAIN, THAT THEY MAY LIVE.

Ez37.10 SO I PROPHESIED AS HE COMMANDED ME, AND THE BREATH CAME INTO THEM, AND THEY LIVED, AND STOOD UP UPON THEIR FEET, AN EXCEEDING GREAT ARMY.

Ez37.11 >THEN HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, THESE BONES ARE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL: BEHOLD, THEY SAY, OUR BONES ARE DRIED, AND OUR HOPE IS LOST: WE ARE CUT OFF FOR OUR PARTS.

Ez37.12 THEREFORE PROPHESY AND SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, O MY PEOPLE, I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES, AND CAUSE YOU TO COME UP OUT OF YOUR GRAVES, AND BRING YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

Ez37.13 AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I [AM] THE LORD, WHEN I HAVE OPENED YOUR GRAVES, O MY PEOPLE, AND BROUGHT YOU UP OUT OF YOUR GRAVES,

Ez37.14 AND SHALL PUT MY SPIRIT IN YOU, AND YE SHALL LIVE, AND I SHALL PLACE YOU IN YOUR OWN LAND: THEN SHALL YE KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN [IT], AND PERFORMED [IT], SAITH THE LORD.

Ez48.30 >And these [are] the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.

Ez48.31 And the gates of the city [shall be] after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

Ez48.32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.

Ez48.33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.

Ez48.34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, [with] their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

Ez48.35 [It was] round about eighteen thousand [measures]: and THE NAME OF THE CITY FROM [THAT] DAY [SHALL BE], THE LORD [IS] THERE.

The Sanctuary by O. R. L. Crozier

PART TWO OF FOUR

THE PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST

The priesthood of the worldly Sanctuary of the first covenant belonged to the sons of Levi; but that of the heavenly, of the better covenant, to the Son of God. HE FULFILS BOTH THE PRIESTHOOD OF MELCHISEDEC AND AARON. In some respects the Priesthood of Christ resembles that of Melchisedec; and in others that of Aaron or Levi.

1. He was MADE AN HIGH PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC. Taxis, rendered order, properly signifies “series, succession.” Christ, like Melchisedec, had no priestly descent of pedigree; Hebrews 7:3 (margin) i.e. he never followed nor will have a successor in office; and BECAUSE HE CONTINUETH EVER, HATH AN UNCHANGEABLE PRIESTHOOD, (which passeth not from one to another; margin) verse 24. The priesthood of Levi to be continuous had many and a succession of priests, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SUFFERED TO CONTINUE BY REASON OF DEATH; verse 23.

He5.5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, TO DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE. {The word BEGOTTEN means derived from something which is already in existence.} {Thou and Thee are singular, not a plural god.}

He5.6 As he saith also in another [place], THOU [ART] A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC. {Thou is singular, not a plural god.}

He5.10 CALLED OF GOD AN HIGH PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.

He6.20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] JESUS, MADE AN HIGH PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.

He7.17 For he testifieth, THOU [ART] A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.

He7.21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, THOU [ART] A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC:)

He7.22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

He7.23 AND THEY TRULY WERE MANY PRIESTS, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SUFFERED TO CONTINUE BY REASON OF DEATH:

He7.24 BUT THIS [MAN], BECAUSE HE CONTINUETH EVER, HATH AN UNCHANGEABLE PRIESTHOOD.

He7.25 WHEREFORE HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME UNTO GOD BY HIM, SEEING HE EVER LIVETH TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM.

2. Being after the order of Melchisedec, he is superior to the sons of Levi; because he blessed and received tithes from them in Abraham; verses 1, 7, 9, 10.

He7.1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

He7.7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

He7.9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

He7.10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

3. He is King and Priest; a King by birth, being from the tribe of Judah, and a Priest by the oath of his Father; verses 14, 21.

He7.14 For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

He7.21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, THOU [ART] A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC:)

4. Being himself perfect, and his priesthood unending, he is able to PERFECT … FOREVER AND SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME UNTO GOD BY HIM, SEEING HE EVER LIVETH TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM.

He2.10 For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERINGS.

He7.19 FOR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE [DID]; BY THE WHICH WE DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD.

He9.9 WHICH [WAS] A FIGURE FOR THE TIME THEN PRESENT, IN WHICH WERE OFFERED BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES, that could NOT make him that did the service PERFECT, as pertaining to the conscience;

He10.14 FOR BY ONE OFFERING HE HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED.

He11.40 GOD HAVING PROVIDED SOME BETTER THING FOR US, THAT THEY WITHOUT US SHOULD NOT BE MADE PERFECT.

He13.20 NOW THE GOD OF PEACE, THAT BROUGHT AGAIN FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE EVERLASTING COVENANT,

He13.21 MAKE YOU PERFECT IN EVERY GOOD WORK TO DO HIS WILL, WORKING IN YOU THAT WHICH IS WELLPLEASING IN HIS SIGHT, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST; TO WHOM [BE] GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN.

He7.25 WHEREFORE HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME UNTO GOD BY HIM, SEEING HE EVER LIVETH TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM.

He was not called after the ORDER of Aaron; i.e. not in his succession; but this does not at all prove that the priesthood of Aaron was not typical of the Priesthood of Christ. Paul distinctly shows that it is.

1. After calling upon us to CONSIDER THE APOSTLE AND HIGH PRIEST OF OUR PROFESSION (or religion), CHRIST JESUS, he lays the foundation of the investigation by drawing the analysis [analogy – – Crozier later explained that this word was incorrectly printed] between Moses over his house (oikos, people) and Christ over his, (Hebrews 3:1-6) and says: MOSES VERILY [WAS] FAITHFUL IN ALL HIS HOUSE, AS A SERVANT, FOR A TESTIMONY OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TO BE SPOKEN AFTER. This clearly shows that the Mosaic economy was typical of the divine.

He3.1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, CONSIDER THE APOSTLE AND HIGH PRIEST OF OUR PROFESSION, CHRIST JESUS;

He3.2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also MOSES [WAS FAITHFUL] IN ALL HIS HOUSE.

He3.3 For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

He3.4 For every house is builded by some [man]; but he that built all things [is] God.

He3.5 And MOSES VERILY [WAS] FAITHFUL IN ALL HIS HOUSE, AS A SERVANT, FOR A TESTIMONY OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TO BE SPOKEN AFTER;

He3.6 But CHRIST AS A SON OVER HIS OWN HOUSE; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

2. He shows that he was called of God to be an High Priest AS [WAS] AARON; Hebrews 5:1-5.

He5.1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men IN THINGS [PERTAINING] TO GOD, THAT HE MAY OFFER BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES FOR SINS:

He5.2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

He5.3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

He5.4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, AS [WAS] AARON.

3. Like Aaron and his sons, BUT HE TOOK ON [HIM] FLESH AND BLOOD, THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, WAS IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED LIKE AS [WE ARE, YET] WITHOUT SIN, was made PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERINGS, and IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO [HIS] BRETHREN, THAT HE MIGHT BE A MERCIFUL AND FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST IN THINGS [PERTAINING] TO GOD, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE: chs. 2 and 4.

He2.16 FOR VERILY HE TOOK NOT ON [HIM THE NATURE OF] ANGELS; BUT HE TOOK ON [HIM] THE SEED OF ABRAHAM.

He4.14 SEEING THEN THAT WE HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST, THAT IS PASSED INTO THE HEAVENS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, LET US HOLD FAST [OUR] PROFESSION.

He4.15 FOR WE HAVE NOT AN HIGH PRIEST WHICH CANNOT BE TOUCHED WITH THE FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; BUT WAS IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED LIKE AS [WE ARE, YET] WITHOUT SIN.

He2.10 For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERINGS.

He2.17 WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO [HIS] BRETHREN, THAT HE MIGHT BE A MERCIFUL AND FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST IN THINGS [PERTAINING] TO GOD, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE.

[There is no number 4 in the original!]

5. Both [Jesus and Aaron] were ordained then IN THINGS [PERTAINING] TO GOD, THAT (they might) OFFER BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES FOR SINS. Hebrews 5:1; 8:3.

He5.1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men IN THINGS [PERTAINING] TO GOD, THAT HE MAY OFFER BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES FOR SINS:

He8.3 FOR EVERY HIGH PRIEST IS ORDAINED TO OFFER GIFTS AND SACRIFICES: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

6. Paul evidently considered the Levitical priesthood typical of Christ’s from the pains he takes to explain the analogies and contrasts between them;

7. AND THEY TRULY WERE MANY PRIESTS, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SUFFERED TO CONTINUE BY REASON OF DEATH: BUT THIS [MAN], BECAUSE HE CONTINUETH EVER, HATH AN UNCHANGEABLE PRIESTHOOD.

He7.23 AND THEY TRULY WERE MANY PRIESTS, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SUFFERED TO CONTINUE BY REASON OF DEATH:

He7.24 BUT THIS [MAN], BECAUSE HE CONTINUETH EVER, HATH AN UNCHANGEABLE PRIESTHOOD.

8. WHO NEEDETH NOT DAILY, AS THOSE HIGH PRIESTS, TO OFFER UP SACRIFICE, FIRST FOR HIS OWN SINS, AND THEN FOR THE PEOPLE’S: FOR THIS HE DID ONCE, WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIMSELF.

He7.27 WHO NEEDETH NOT DAILY, AS THOSE HIGH PRIESTS, TO OFFER UP SACRIFICE, FIRST FOR HIS OWN SINS, AND THEN FOR THE PEOPLE’S: FOR THIS HE DID ONCE, WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIMSELF.

9. FOR THE LAW MAKETH MEN HIGH PRIESTS WHICH HAVE INFIRMITY; BUT THE WORD OF THE OATH, WHICH WAS SINCE THE LAW, [MAKETH] THE SON, WHO IS CONSECRATED FOR EVERMORE; Hebrews 7:23-28.

He7.28 FOR THE LAW MAKETH MEN HIGH PRIESTS WHICH HAVE INFIRMITY; BUT THE WORD OF THE OATH, WHICH WAS SINCE THE LAW, [MAKETH] THE SON, WHO IS CONSECRATED FOR EVERMORE.

10. BUT NOW HATH HE OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY than theirs; Hebrews 8:6.

He8.6 BUT NOW HATH HE OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY, BY HOW MUCH ALSO HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon better promises.

11. BY HOW MUCH ALSO HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT than theirs; Hebrews 8:6.

He8.6 BUT NOW HATH HE OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY, BY HOW MUCH ALSO HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon better promises.

12. BUT CHRIST BEING COME AN HIGH PRIEST OF GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE than theirs; Hebrews 9:11.

He9.11 BUT CHRIST BEING COME AN HIGH PRIEST OF {ton} GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, NOT MADE WITH HANDS, that is to say, not of this building;

13. NEITHER BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED IN ONCE INTO THE HOLY PLACE; verse 12.

He9.12 NEITHER BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED IN ONCE INTO THE HOLY PLACE {eis hagia}, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].

14. FOR IF THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS, AND THE ASHES OF AN HEIFER SPRINKLING THE UNCLEAN, SANCTIFIETH TO THE PURIFYING OF THE FLESH: HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, WHO THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OFFERED HIMSELF WITHOUT SPOT TO GOD, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE; verses 13,14.

He9.13 FOR IF THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS, AND THE ASHES OF AN HEIFER SPRINKLING THE UNCLEAN, SANCTIFIETH TO THE PURIFYING OF THE FLESH:

He9.14 HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, WHO THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OFFERED HIMSELF WITHOUT SPOT TO GOD, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD?

15. FOR CHRIST IS NOT ENTERED INTO THE HOLY PLACES MADE WITH HANDS, [WHICH ARE] THE FIGURES OF THE TRUE; BUT INTO HEAVEN ITSELF; verse 24.

16. NOR YET THAT HE SHOULD OFFER HIMSELF OFTEN, AS THE HIGH PRIEST ENTERETH INTO THE HOLY PLACE EVERY YEAR WITH BLOOD OF OTHERS; FOR THEN MUST HE OFTEN HAVE SUFFERED SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD: BUT NOW ONCE IN THE END OF THE WORLD HATH HE APPEARED TO PUT AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF verses 25,26.

He9.25 NOR YET THAT HE SHOULD OFFER HIMSELF OFTEN, AS THE HIGH PRIEST ENTERETH INTO THE HOLY PLACE EVERY YEAR WITH BLOOD OF OTHERS;

He9.26 FOR THEN MUST HE OFTEN HAVE SUFFERED SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD: BUT NOW ONCE IN THE END OF THE WORLD HATH HE APPEARED TO PUT AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF.

17. AND AS IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT: SO CHRIST WAS ONCE OFFERED TO BEAR THE SINS OF MANY; AND UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION. verses 27,28.

He9.27 AND AS IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT:

He9.28 SO CHRIST WAS ONCE OFFERED TO BEAR THE SINS OF MANY; AND UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION.

18. FOR THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW OF GOOD THINGS TO COME, [AND] NOT THE VERY IMAGE OF THE THINGS, CAN NEVER WITH THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR CONTINUALLY MAKE THE COMERS THEREUNTO PERFECT BUT BY ONE OFFERING HE HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED; Hebrews 10:1,14.

He10.1 FOR THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW OF [the] GOOD THINGS TO COME, [AND] NOT THE VERY IMAGE OF THE THINGS, CAN NEVER WITH THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR CONTINUALLY MAKE THE COMERS THEREUNTO PERFECT.

He10.14 FOR BY ONE OFFERING HE HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED.

19. FOR [IT IS] NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS; BUT A BODY HAST THOU PREPARED ME; verses 4,5.

He10.4 FOR [IT IS] NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS.

He10.5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, BUT A BODY HAST THOU PREPARED ME:

These are part of the contrasts or comparisons the Apostle draws between the Levitical priesthood and Christ’s and there is a resemblance in every instance, but Christ’s is superior to Levi’s. I add one more. Hebrews 8:4,5. FOR IF HE WERE ON EARTH, HE SHOULD NOT BE A PRIEST, SEEING THAT THERE (margin, they) ARE PRIESTS THAT OFFER GIFTS ACCORDING TO THE LAW: WHO SERVE UNTO THE EXAMPLE AND SHADOW OF HEAVENLY THINGS.

He8.4 FOR IF HE WERE ON EARTH, HE SHOULD NOT BE A PRIEST, SEEING THAT THERE {margin, they} ARE PRIESTS THAT OFFER GIFTS ACCORDING TO THE LAW:

He8.5 WHO SERVE UNTO THE EXAMPLE AND SHADOW OF HEAVENLY THINGS, AS MOSES WAS ADMONISHED OF GOD WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO MAKE THE TABERNACLE: FOR, SEE, SAITH HE, [THAT] THOU MAKE ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN SHOWED TO THEE IN THE MOUNT. [ex25.40]

The features of the substance always bear a resemblance to those of the priestly service IN THE HEAVENS (verses 1,2) performed by our high priest in his Sanctuary; for if the SHADOW is SERVICE, the SUBSTANCE is service also.

He8.1 NOW OF THE THINGS WHICH WE HAVE SPOKEN [THIS IS] THE SUM: WE HAVE SUCH AN HIGH PRIEST, WHO IS SET ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF THE MAJESTY IN THE HEAVENS;

He8.2 A MINISTER OF THE SANCTUARY, AND OF THE TRUE TABERNACLE, WHICH THE LORD PITCHED, AND NOT MAN.

As the priests of the law served unto the example and shadow of the heavenly service we can from their service learn something of the nature of the heavenly service. MOSES WAS ADMONISHED OF GOD WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO MAKE THE TABERNACLE: FOR, SEE, SAITH HE, [THAT] THOU MAKE ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN SHOWED TO THEE IN THE MOUNT.

None can deny that, in obedience to this administration [admonition], Moses made or instituted the Levitical priesthood; it was THEN ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN which the Lord showed him, and that pattern was of heavenly things, Hebrews 9:23. If there was not another text to prove that the Levitical priesthood was typical of the Divine, this would abundantly do it. Yet some are even denying this obvious import of the priesthood; but if this is not its import, I can see no meaning in it. It is an idle round of ceremonies without sense or use, as it did not perfect those for whom it was performed; but looked upon as typical of the heavenly, it is replete with the most important instruction. As this is the application made of it by the New Testament, so we must regard it, while we examine the atonement made under the Levitical priesthood.

He9.23 [IT WAS] THEREFORE NECESSARY THAT THE PATTERNS OF THINGS IN THE HEAVENS SHOULD BE PURIFIED WITH THESE; BUT THE HEAVENLY THINGS THEMSELVES WITH BETTER SACRIFICES THAN THESE.

NOW WHEN THESE THINGS [the worldly Sanctuary with its two apartments and the furniture in each] WERE THUS ORDAINED, THE PRIESTS WENT ALWAYS [daily, Hebrews 7:27; 10:11] INTO THE FIRST TABERNACLE, ACCOMPLISHING THE SERVICE [OF GOD]. BUT INTO THE SECOND [WENT] THE HIGH PRIEST ALONE ONCE EVERY YEAR, NOT WITHOUT BLOOD, WHICH HE OFFERED FOR HIMSELF, AND [FOR] THE ERRORS OF THE PEOPLE. Hebrews 9:6,7. Here Paul divides the services of the Levitical priesthood into two classes – one daily in the Holy, and the other yearly in the Holy of Holies.

He9.6 NOW WHEN THESE THINGS {the worldly Sanctuary with its two apartments and the furniture in each} WERE THUS ORDAINED, THE PRIESTS WENT ALWAYS {daily, Hebrews 7:27; 10:11} INTO THE FIRST TABERNACLE, ACCOMPLISHING THE SERVICE [OF GOD].

He9.7 BUT INTO THE SECOND {the Holy of Holies} [WENT] THE HIGH PRIEST ALONE ONCE EVERY YEAR, NOT WITHOUT BLOOD, WHICH HE OFFERED FOR HIMSELF, AND [FOR] THE ERRORS OF THE PEOPLE:

He7.27 WHO NEEDETH NOT DAILY, AS THOSE HIGH PRIESTS, TO OFFER UP SACRIFICE, FIRST FOR HIS OWN SINS, AND THEN FOR THE PEOPLE’S: FOR THIS HE DID ONCE, WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIMSELF.

He10.11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

Their stated daily services, performed in the Holy and at the brazen altar in the court before the tabernacle, consisted of a burnt-offering of two lambs, one in the morning and the other at even, with a meat [or meal] offering which was one tenth of an ephah of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil, and a drink-offering which was one-fourth of an hin of strong wine. The meat-offering was burnt with the lamb, and the drink-offering was poured in the Holy; Exodus 29:38-42; Numbers 28:3-8. In connection with this, they burned on the golden altar in the Holy, sweet incense, which was a very rich perfume, when they dressed and lighted the lamps every evening and morning. Exodus 29:34-38; 31:11; 30:7-9. The same was afterwards done at the Temple. 1 Chronicles 16:37-40; 2 Chronicles 2:4; 13:4-12; 13:3 [see 2 Chronicles 31:3] Ezra 3:3.

Ex29.38 >Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

Ex29.39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:

Ex29.40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine [for] a drink offering.

Ex29.41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Ex29.42 [This shall be] a continual burnt offering throughout your generations [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

Nu28.3 And thou shalt say unto them, This [is] the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, [for] a continual burnt offering.

Nu28.4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;

Nu28.5 And a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil.

Nu28.6 [It is] a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

Nu28.7 And the drink offering thereof [shall be] the fourth [part] of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD [for] a drink offering.

Nu28.8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer [it], a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Ex29.34 And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it [is] holy.

Ex29.35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all [things] which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.

Ex29.36 And thou shalt offer every day a bullock [for] a sin offering for atonement: and THOU SHALT CLEANSE THE ALTAR, WHEN THOU HAST MADE AN ATONEMENT FOR IT, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

Ex29.37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

Ex29.38 >Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

Ex31.11 AND THE ANOINTING OIL, AND SWEET INCENSE FOR THE HOLY [PLACE]: ACCORDING TO ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEE SHALL THEY DO.

Ex30.7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.

Ex30.8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.

Ex30.9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.

1ch16.37 >So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:

1ch16.38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be] porters:

1ch16.39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was] at Gibeon,

1ch16.40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and [to do] according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;

2ch2.4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate [it] to him, [and] to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This [is an ordinance] for ever to Israel.

2ch13.4 >And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which [is] in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;

2ch13.5 Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, [even] to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

2ch13.6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.

2ch13.7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.

2ch13.8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye [be] a great multitude, and [there are] with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.

2ch13.9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, [the same] may be a priest of [them that are] no gods.

2ch13.10 But as for us, the LORD [is] our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, [are] the sons of Aaron, and the Levites [wait] upon [their] business:

2ch13.11 And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the showbread also [set they in order] upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.

2ch13.12 And, behold, God himself [is] with us for [our] captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

2ch13.3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, [even] four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, [being] mighty men of valour.

2ch31.3 [He {Hezekiah} appointed] also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as [it is] written in the law of the LORD.

Er3.3 And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear [was] upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, [even] burnt offerings morning and evening.

This did NOT ATONE FOR SINS either individually or collectively. The daily service described was a sort of continual intercession; but the making of atonement was a special work for which special directions are given. Different words are used both in the Old Testament and New, to express the same idea as At-one-ment.

Examples. – The italicized words are, in the text, synonymous with atone or atonement. Ex 29:36; THOU SHALT CLEANSE THE ALTAR, WHEN THOU HAST MADE AN ATONEMENT FOR IT. Leviticus 12:8; THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HER, AND SHE SHALL BE CLEAN. Leviticus 14:2; THIS SHALL BE THE LAW OF THE LEPER IN THE DAY OF HIS CLEANSING. Verse 31; THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM THAT IS TO BE CLEANSED. The atonement could not be made for him till after he was healed of the leprosy, Leviticus 13:45,46. Till he was healed, HE SHALL DWELL ALONE; WITHOUT THE CAMP. Then Leviticus 14:3,4; THE PRIEST SHALL GO FORTH OUT OF THE CAMP; AND THE PRIEST SHALL LOOK, AND, BEHOLD, [IF] THE PLAGUE OF LEPROSY BE HEALED IN THE LEPER; THEN SHALL THE PRIEST COMMAND TO TAKE FOR HIM THAT IS TO BE CLEANSED TWO BIRDS ALIVE [AND] CLEAN, etc. The law was the same in cleansing a house from the leprosy. Verses 33-57. The stones affected with the plague were removed and the house SCRAPED WITHIN ROUND ABOUT [verse 41] and then repaired with new material.

Le12.8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HER, AND SHE SHALL BE CLEAN. [le5.7; lk2.24]

Le14.2 THIS SHALL BE THE LAW OF THE LEPER IN THE DAY OF HIS CLEANSING: He shall be brought unto the priest:

Le14.31 [Even] such as he is able to get, the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM THAT IS TO BE CLEANSED before the LORD.

Le13.45 And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

Le13.46 All the days wherein the plague [shall be] in him he shall be defiled; he [is] unclean: HE SHALL DWELL ALONE; WITHOUT THE CAMP [shall] his habitation [be].

Le14.3 And THE PRIEST SHALL GO FORTH OUT OF THE CAMP; AND THE PRIEST SHALL LOOK, AND, BEHOLD, [IF] THE PLAGUE OF LEPROSY BE HEALED IN THE LEPER;

Le14.4 THEN SHALL THE PRIEST COMMAND TO TAKE FOR HIM THAT IS TO BE CLEANSED TWO BIRDS ALIVE [AND] CLEAN, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

Le14.33 >And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Le14.34 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

Le14.35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me [there is] as it were a plague in the house:

Le14.36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go [into it] to see the plague, that all that [is] in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

Le14.37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the plague [be] in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, which in sight [are] lower than the wall;

Le14.38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

Le14.39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, [if] the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

Le14.40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague [is], and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

Le14.41 And he shall cause the house to be SCRAPED WITHIN ROUND ABOUT, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

Le14.42 And they shall take other stones, and put [them] in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

Le14.43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered;

Le14.44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, [if] the plague be spread in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house: it [is] unclean.

Le14.45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city into an unclean place.

Le14.46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

Le14.47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

Le14.48 And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it], and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house CLEAN, because the plague is healed.

Le14.49 AND HE SHALL TAKE TO CLEANSE THE HOUSE TWO BIRDS, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

Le14.50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

Le14.51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

Le14.52 AND HE SHALL CLEANSE THE HOUSE WITH THE BLOOD OF THE BIRD, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

Le14.53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, AND MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE HOUSE: AND IT SHALL BE CLEAN.

Le14.54 This [is] the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

Le14.55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

Le14.56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

Le14.57 To teach when [it is] unclean, and when [it is] clean: this [is] the law of leprosy.

Physical uncleanness is now all removed and we would call it clean; but not so; it is only just prepared to be cleansed according to the law. Verse 48; AND HE SHALL TAKE TO CLEANSE THE HOUSE TWO BIRDS etc. Verse 49; AND HE SHALL CLEANSE THE HOUSE WITH THE BLOOD OF THE BIRD etc. Verses 52,53; AND MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE HOUSE: AND IT SHALL BE CLEAN. Leviticus 16:18,19; AND HE SHALL GO OUT UNTO THE ALTAR THAT [IS] BEFORE THE LORD, AND MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR IT. AND HE SHALL SPRINKLE OF THE BLOOD UPON IT WITH HIS FINGER SEVEN TIMES, AND CLEANSE IT, AND HALLOW IT FROM THE UNCLEANNESS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. Leviticus 8:15; AND HE SLEW [IT]; AND MOSES TOOK THE BLOOD, AND PUT [IT] UPON THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR ROUND ABOUT WITH HIS FINGER, AND PURIFIED THE ALTAR, AND POURED THE BLOOD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ALTAR, AND SANCTIFIED IT, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION UPON IT. 2 Chronicles 29:29 [see 2 Chronicles 29:24]. AND THEY MADE RECONCILIATION WITH THEIR BLOOD UPON THE ALTAR, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR ALL ISRAEL; Jeremiah 33:8; I WILL CLEANSE THEM FROM ALL THEIR INIQUITY, and I WILL PARDON ALL THEIR INIQUITIES.

Le14.49 AND HE SHALL TAKE TO CLEANSE THE HOUSE TWO BIRDS, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

Le14.50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

Le14.52 AND HE SHALL CLEANSE THE HOUSE WITH THE BLOOD OF THE BIRD, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

Le14.53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, AND MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE HOUSE: AND IT SHALL BE CLEAN.

Le16.18 AND HE SHALL GO OUT {of the Holy of Holies} UNTO THE ALTAR THAT [IS] BEFORE THE LORD {in the Holy}, AND MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR IT; AND SHALL TAKE OF THE BLOOD {for himself} OF THE BULLOCK, AND OF THE BLOOD OF THE GOAT {for the people}, AND PUT [IT] UPON THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR ROUND ABOUT.

Le16.19 AND HE SHALL SPRINKLE OF THE BLOOD UPON IT WITH HIS FINGER SEVEN TIMES, AND CLEANSE IT, AND HALLOW IT FROM THE UNCLEANNESS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.

Le8.15 AND HE SLEW [IT]; AND MOSES TOOK THE BLOOD, AND PUT [IT] UPON THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR ROUND ABOUT WITH HIS FINGER, AND PURIFIED THE ALTAR, AND POURED THE BLOOD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ALTAR, AND SANCTIFIED IT, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION UPON IT.

2ch29.29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.

2ch29.24 And the priests killed them, AND THEY MADE RECONCILIATION WITH THEIR BLOOD UPON THE ALTAR, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR ALL ISRAEL: for the king commanded [that] the burnt offering and the sin offering [should be made] for all Israel.

Je33.8 And I WILL CLEANSE THEM FROM ALL THEIR INIQUITY, whereby they have sinned against me; and I WILL PARDON ALL THEIR INIQUITIES, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

Romans 5:9-11 BEING NOW JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, BY WHOM WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE ATONEMENT; 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 WHO HATH RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF BY JESUS CHRIST. Ephesians 2:16 AND THAT HE MIGHT RECONCILE BOTH UNTO GOD; Hebrews 9:13,14 THE BLOOD OF BULLS … SANCTIFIETH TO THE PURIFYING OF THE FLESH; but THE BLOOD OF CHRIST … shall PURGE OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS. Verse 15: He is THE MEDIATOR … FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THE TRANSGRESSIONS [TRANSGRESSORS], and, Hebrews 10:14 PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED; Ephesians 1:7 IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS; Acts 3:19 BE CONVERTED THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT.

Ro5.9 Much more then, BEING NOW JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Ro5.10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to GOD by the death of HIS SON, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Ro5.11 And not only [so], but we also JOY IN GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY WHOM WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE ATONEMENT {margin, reconciliation}.

2co5.17 THEREFORE IF ANY MAN [BE] IN CHRIST, [HE IS] A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.

2co5.18 AND ALL THINGS [ARE] OF GOD, WHO HATH RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF BY JESUS CHRIST, and hath given to us the MINISTRY of reconciliation; {MINISTRY = MIN-IS-TRY = The act of serving.}

2co5.19 To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Ep2.16 AND THAT HE MIGHT RECONCILE BOTH UNTO GOD in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

He9.13 FOR IF THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS, AND THE ASHES OF AN HEIFER SPRINKLING THE UNCLEAN, SANCTIFIETH TO THE PURIFYING OF THE FLESH:

He9.14 HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, WHO THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OFFERED HIMSELF WITHOUT SPOT TO GOD, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD?

He9.15 And for this cause he is THE MEDIATOR of the new testament, that by means of death, FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THE TRANSGRESSIONS [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

He10.14 FOR BY ONE OFFERING HE HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED.

Ep1.7 IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, according to the riches of his grace;

Ac3.19 >REPENT YE THEREFORE, AND BE CONVERTED, THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE {future} BLOTTED OUT, WHEN THE TIMES OF REFRESHING SHALL COME FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD;

From these texts we learn that the words atone, cleanse, reconcile, purify, purge, pardon, sanctify, hallow, forgive, justify, redeem, blot out, and some others, are used to signify the same work, viz., bringing into favour with God; and in all cases blood is the means, and sometimes blood and water.

The atonement is the great idea of the Law, as well as the Gospel; and as the design of that of the Law was to teach us that of the Gospel, it is very important to be understood. The atonement which the priest made for the people in connection with their daily ministration was different from that made on the tenth day of the seventh month.

In making the former, they went no further than in the Holy; but to make the latter they entered the Holy of Holies – the former was made for individual cases, the latter for the whole nation of Israel collectively – the former was made for the FORGIVENESS OF SINS, the latter for BLOTTING THEM OUT – the former could be made at any time, the latter only on the tenth day of the seventh month. Hence the former may be called the daily atonement and the latter the yearly, or the former the individual, and the latter the national atonement.

THE INDIVIDUAL ATONEMENT for the forgiveness of sins was made for a single person, or for the whole congregation in case they were collectively guilty of some sin. The 1st chapter of Leviticus gives directions for the burnt-offering, the 2nd for the meat [meal]-offering, the 3rd for the peace-offering, and the 4th for the sin-offering, which, as its name implies, was an offering for sins, in which he who offered it attained forgiveness of his sins. The trespass-offering, Leviticus 5; 6:1-7, was similar to the sin-offering, IF A SOUL SHALL SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE, Leviticus 4:2, WHEN HE KNOWETH [OF IT], THEN HE SHALL BE GUILTY, Leviticus 5:3, AND IT SHALL BE, WHEN HE SHALL BE GUILTY IN ONE OF THESE [THINGS], THAT HE SHALL CONFESS THAT HE HATH SINNED IN THAT [THING], verse 5.

Le4.1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Le4.2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, IF A SOUL SHALL SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE against any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

Le5.3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness [it be] that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; WHEN HE KNOWETH [OF IT], THEN HE SHALL BE GUILTY.

Le5.5 AND IT SHALL BE, WHEN HE SHALL BE GUILTY IN ONE OF THESE [THINGS], THAT HE SHALL CONFESS THAT HE HATH SINNED IN THAT [THING]:

From Numbers 5:6-8, it appears that confession and restitution are necessary in all cases before the atonement could be made for the individual. WHEN A MAN OR WOMAN SHALL COMMIT ANY SIN THAT MEN COMMIT, TO DO A TRESPASS AGAINST THE LORD, AND THAT PERSON BE GUILTY; THEN THEY SHALL CONFESS THEIR SIN WHICH THEY HAVE DONE: AND HE SHALL RECOMPENSE HIS TRESPASS WITH THE PRINCIPAL THEREOF, AND ADD UNTO IT THE FIFTH [PART] THEREOF, AND GIVE [IT] UNTO [HIM] AGAINST WHOM HE HATH TRESPASSED. Then he or the elders (if it was for the congregation) brought the victim for the sin or trespass-offering to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation on the north side of the altar of burnt offering in the court, Leviticus 4:24; 1:11; 17:1-7, there he (or the elders) laid his hand on its head and killed it, Leviticus 4:2-4, 13-15, 22-24, 27-29.

Nu5.6 Speak unto the children of Israel, WHEN A MAN OR WOMAN SHALL COMMIT ANY SIN THAT MEN COMMIT, TO DO A TRESPASS AGAINST THE LORD, AND THAT PERSON BE GUILTY;

Nu5.7 THEN THEY SHALL CONFESS THEIR SIN WHICH THEY HAVE DONE: AND HE SHALL RECOMPENSE HIS TRESPASS WITH THE PRINCIPAL THEREOF, AND ADD UNTO IT THE FIFTH [PART] THEREOF, AND GIVE [IT] UNTO [HIM] AGAINST WHOM HE HATH TRESPASSED.

Nu5.8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, [even] to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.

Le4.24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it [is] a sin offering.

Le1.11 AND HE SHALL KILL IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ALTAR NORTHWARD BEFORE THE LORD: AND THE PRIESTS, AARON’S SONS, SHALL SPRINKLE HIS BLOOD ROUND ABOUT UPON THE ALTAR.

Le17.1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Le17.2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,

Le17.3 What man soever [there be] of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth [it] out of the camp,

Le17.4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

Le17.5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them [for] peace offerings unto the LORD.

Le17.6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Le17.7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

Le4.3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.

Le4.4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.

Le4.13 >AND IF THE WHOLE CONGREGATION OF ISRAEL SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE, AND THE THING BE HID FROM THE EYES OF THE ASSEMBLY, and they have done [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which should not be done, and are guilty;

Le4.14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.

Le4.15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.

Le4.22 >When a ruler hath sinned, and done [somewhat] through ignorance [against] any of the commandments of the LORD his God [concerning things] which should not be done, and is guilty;

Le4.23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

Le4.24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it [is] a sin offering.

Le4.27 >And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

Le4.28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

Le4.29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

Then, the victim being presented and slain, the priest that was anointed took some of the blood into the Holy, and with his finger sprinkled it before the veil of the Sanctuary and put some of it upon the horns of the altar of incense, then poured the remainder of the blood at the bottom of the altar. Thus he made an ATONEMENT for the individual, and his SIN WAS FORGIVEN. Leviticus 4:5-10, 16:20, 25-26, 30-34. The carcasses of the sin-offering were taken without the camp and burned IN A CLEAN PLACE, Leviticus 4:11, 12, 21.

Le4.5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

Le4.6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, BEFORE THE VEIL OF THE SANCTUARY.

Le4.7 And the priest shall put [some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Le4.8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,

Le4.9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,

Le4.10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.

Le16.25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.

Le16.26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

Le16.30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [THAT] YE MAY BE CLEAN FROM ALL YOUR SINS BEFORE THE LORD.

Le16.31 It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

Le16.34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOR ALL THEIR SINS ONCE A YEAR. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Le4.11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

Le4.12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto A CLEAN PLACE, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

Le4.21 And he shall carry forth the bullock WITHOUT THE CAMP, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it [is] a sin offering for the congregation.

It should be distinctly remembered that the priest did not begin his duties till he obtained the BLOOD of the victim, and that they were all performed in the court (the enclosure of the Sanctuary), and that the atonement thus made was only for the FORGIVENESS OF SINS. These points are expressly taught in this chapter and the following one on the trespass-offering. Here is AN ATONEMENT, to make which, the priests only entered the Holy, and to make it they could enter that apartment ALWAYS or DAILY. BUT INTO THE SECOND [the Holy of Holies] [WENT] THE HIGH PRIEST ALONE ONCE EVERY YEAR, NOT WITHOUT BLOOD, WHICH HE OFFERED FOR HIMSELF, AND [FOR] THE ERRORS OF THE PEOPLE, (Laos, nation).

He9.7 BUT INTO THE SECOND {the Holy of Holies} [WENT] THE HIGH PRIEST ALONE ONCE EVERY YEAR, NOT WITHOUT BLOOD, WHICH HE OFFERED FOR HIMSELF, AND [FOR] THE ERRORS OF THE PEOPLE:

This affirms [defines – author’s correction] the yearly to be,

THE NATIONAL ATONEMENT, of which the Lord speaks particularly in Leviticus 16: AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, SPEAK UNTO AARON THY BROTHER, THAT HE COME NOT AT ALL TIMES INTO THE HOLY [PLACE] WITHIN THE VEIL BEFORE THE MERCY SEAT, WHICH [IS] UPON THE ARK; THAT HE DIE NOT: FOR I WILL APPEAR IN THE CLOUD UPON THE MERCY SEAT, verse 2. For what purpose and when could he enter it? TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL [for ALL Israel, the whole nation] FOR ALL THEIR SINS ONCE A YEAR. On THE SEVENTH MONTH, ON THE TENTH [DAY] OF THE MONTH,” verses 34,29. This was the most important day of the year. The whole nation having had their sins previously forgiven by the atonement made in the Holy, now assemble about their Sanctuary, while the High Priest, attired in his holy garments for glory and beauty, verse 4, Exodus 28, having the golden bells on the hem of his robe that his sound may be heard when he goeth in before the Lord, the breast-plate of judgment on his heart, with their names therein that he may bear their judgment, also in it the Urim and Thummim (light and perfection), and the plate of pure gold, THE HOLY CROWN, (Leviticus 8:9, Exodus 28:36), with HOLINESS TO THE LORD engraved upon it, placed upon the fore-front of his mitre that he may bear the iniquities of the holy things, enters the Holy of Holies to make an atonement to CLEANSE them, that they may be CLEAN from all their sins before the Lord, verse 30.

Le16.1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;

Le16.2 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, SPEAK UNTO AARON THY BROTHER, THAT HE COME NOT AT ALL TIMES INTO THE HOLY [PLACE] WITHIN THE VEIL BEFORE THE MERCY SEAT, WHICH [IS] UPON THE ARK; THAT HE DIE NOT: FOR I WILL APPEAR IN THE CLOUD UPON THE MERCY SEAT.

Le16.3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy [place]: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

Le16.4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these [are] holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and [so] put them on.

Le16.5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel TWO KIDS OF THE GOATS FOR A SIN OFFERING, and one ram for a burnt offering.

Le16.6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which [is] for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

Le16.7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Le16.8 AND AARON SHALL CAST LOTS UPON THE TWO GOATS; ONE LOT FOR THE LORD, AND THE OTHER LOT FOR THE SCAPEGOAT.

Le16.9 AND AARON SHALL BRING THE GOAT UPON WHICH THE LORD’S LOT FELL, AND OFFER HIM [FOR] A SIN OFFERING.

Le16.10 BUT THE GOAT, ON WHICH THE LOT FELL TO BE THE SCAPEGOAT, SHALL BE PRESENTED ALIVE BEFORE THE LORD, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT WITH HIM, [AND] TO LET HIM GO FOR A SCAPEGOAT INTO THE WILDERNESS.

Le16.11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which [is] for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which [is] for himself:

Le16.12 And HE SHALL TAKE A CENSER FULL OF BURNING COALS OF FIRE FROM OFF THE ALTAR BEFORE THE LORD, AND HIS HANDS FULL OF SWEET INCENSE BEATEN SMALL, AND BRING [IT] WITHIN THE VEIL:

Le16.13 AND HE SHALL PUT THE INCENSE UPON THE FIRE BEFORE THE LORD, THAT THE CLOUD OF THE INCENSE MAY COVER THE MERCY SEAT THAT [IS] UPON THE TESTIMONY, THAT HE DIE NOT:

Le16.14 AND HE SHALL TAKE OF THE BLOOD OF THE BULLOCK, AND SPRINKLE [IT] WITH HIS FINGER UPON THE MERCY SEAT EASTWARD; AND BEFORE THE MERCY SEAT SHALL HE SPRINKLE OF THE BLOOD WITH HIS FINGER SEVEN TIMES.

Le16.15 >THEN SHALL HE KILL THE GOAT OF THE SIN OFFERING, THAT [IS] FOR THE PEOPLE, AND BRING HIS BLOOD WITHIN THE VEIL, AND DO WITH THAT BLOOD AS HE DID WITH THE BLOOD OF THE BULLOCK, AND SPRINKLE IT UPON THE MERCY SEAT, AND BEFORE THE MERCY SEAT:

Le16.16 AND HE SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR {cleanse} THE HOLY [PLACE], BECAUSE OF THE UNCLEANNESS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND BECAUSE OF THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS IN ALL THEIR SINS: AND SO SHALL HE DO FOR {i.e. atone for or cleanse} THE TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION {the Holy}, THAT REMAINETH AMONG THEM IN THE MIDST OF THEIR UNCLEANNESS.

Le16.17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy [place], until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
