<P>
|
|
|
|
T<FONT SIZE=-1>HERE</FONT> is nothing historical in all this book of
|
|
Leviticus except the account which it gives us of the consecration of
|
|
the priesthood
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Le+8:1-9:24"><I>ch.</I> viii.-ix.</A>),
|
|
|
|
of the punishment of Nadab and Abihu, by the hand of God, for offering
|
|
strange fire
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Le+10:1-20"><I>ch.</I> x</A>),
|
|
|
|
and of Shelomith's son, by the hand of the magistrate, for blasphemy
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Le+24:1-23"><I>ch.</I> xxiv</A>).
|
|
|
|
All the rest of the book is taken up with the laws, chiefly the
|
|
ecclesiastical laws, which God gave to Israel by Moses, concerning
|
|
their sacrifices and offerings, their meats and drinks, and divers
|
|
washings, and the other peculiarities by which God set that people
|
|
apart for himself, and distinguished them from other nations, all which
|
|
were shadows of good things to come, which are realized and superseded
|
|
by the gospel of Christ. We call the book <I>Leviticus,</I> from the
|
|
Septuagint, because it contains the laws and ordinances of the
|
|
<I>levitical priesthood</I> (as it is called,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Heb+7:11">Heb. vii. 11</A>),
|
|
|
|
and the ministrations of it. The Levites were principally charged with
|
|
these institutions, both to do their part and to teach the people
|
|
theirs. We read, in the close of the foregoing book, of the setting up
|
|
of the tabernacle, which was to be the place of worship; and, as that
|
|
was framed according to the pattern, so must the ordinances of worship
|
|
be, which were there to be administered. In these the divine
|
|
appointment was as particular as in the former, and must be as
|
|
punctually observed. The remaining record of these abrogated laws is
|
|
of use to us, for the strengthening of our faith in Jesus Christ, as
|
|
<I>the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,</I> and for the
|
|
increase of our thankfulness to God, that by him we are freed from the
|
|
yoke of the ceremonial law, and live in the times of reformation.</P>
