A46823	A help for the understanding of the Holy Scripture intended chiefly for the assistance and information of those that use constantly every day to reade some part of the Bible, and would gladly alwayes understand what they read if they had some man to help them : the first part : containing certain short notes of exposition upon the five books of Moses, to wit Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomie : wherein all such passages in the text are explained as were thought likely to be questioned by any reader of ordinary capacity ... / by Arthur Jackson ...

to further this work of the spirit in us as they did in burning the sacrifices by laying in order the wood and the pieces of the sacrifice upon the wood Vers 9. But the inwards and his legs shalt thou wash in water Some conceive that by the inwards are not meant the guts but onely the heart and liver and such inward parts and that because onely that which was usually eaten by men was offered on the altar Gods table as it is called Mal. 1. 2. as was before noted upon verse 6. But however the washing of the inwards and feet did doubtlesse signifie the perfect purity of Christ and withall our through-purification both in the outward and inward man by the spirit of Christ ●gree●ble whereunto are those expressions of the holy Scripture Ezek. 36. 25. Then will I sprink●e clean water upon you and you shall be clean from all your filthinesse and from all your idols will I cleanse you and again Heb. 10. 22. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water Vers 10. He shall bring it a male without blemish See the note upon vers 3. Vers 11. And he shall kill it on the side of the altar Northward There also the sinne-offering was killed Levit. 6. 25. and the trespasse-offering Levit. 7. 2. which might signifie the obscurity of the legall ceremonies the North being farthest from the light of the sunne or that Christ was to dye at Jerusalem of which the Prophet saith Psal 48. 2. On the sides of the North is the citie of the great King But I rather content my self with this literall reason The altar being placed by the doore of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation which seems was in the Southside there was more scope on the Northside and therefore they are there appointed to make ready the sacrifices Onely the peace-offerings were slain at the very doore of the tabernacle which was more Eastwards in regard of the altar as is evident chap. 32. Vers 12. And the priest shall lay them in order See the note above upon ver 8. Vers 13. But he shall wash the inwards c. See the former note upon vers 9. And the priest shall bring it all and burn it upon the altar This signified that all Christ and whatsoever he had done is ours by faith Gal. 2. 20. I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Sonne of God who loved me and gave himself for me And that we also should give our selves wholly unto God by him 1. Thess 5. 23. And the very God of peace sanctifie you wholly and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blamelesse unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Vers 14. And if the burnt-sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls then he shall bring his offering of turtle doves or of young pigeons Which signified the innocency and meeknesse both of Christ and his members And again old turtles and young pigeons are best and so the best must be given to God Vers 15. And wring off his head and burn it on the altar The manner how the priests should kill the burnt-offering of turtle doves or young pigeons is here set down which was by wringing off the head of them according to our translation or pinching of the head with the priests nail as it is in the margin of our bibles The most common opinion of Expositours is that the heads of these birds were not quite wrung off from their bodies but onely broken in sunder and so left hanging still by the skinne unto their bodies and their chief reason is because elsewhere it is said where direction is given for the killing of such turtle doves or young pigeons that were brought for a sinne-offering that the priests should wring off his head from his neck but not divide it asunder Levit. 5. 8. But some other reasons may make it seem more probable that the heads of these birds that were brought for a burnt-offering were quite wrung off from their bodies as First because we cannot vvell else conceive hovv the bloud of these sacrifices should be wrung out at the side of the altar as it is injoyned in the follovving vvords and vve knovv that the Jevvs did of all things abhorre things that vvere strangled and that the effusion of the bloud of the sacrifices vvas the chief thing vvhereby vvas signified the atonement made for us by the bloud of Christ and how by the pinching of the priests nail a wound should be made for the letting out the bloud as some hold it is hard to conceive and secondly because the following words and burn it on the altar seem plainly to be meant of burning the head particularly being thus wrung off for of the burning of the body of these birds direction is afterwards given vers 17. As for that place in the fifth of Leviticus I see not but it may be meant not of not dividing the head from the body but of not dividing the body asunder for which also there is here direction given vers 17. He shall cleave it but not divide it asunder Vers 16. And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers c. And so it figured the holinesse that was in Christ our sacrifice who without all sinne or uncleannesse offered himself unto God for us by which also he cleansed and purified his people and their service of God Heb. 9. 14. And cast it besides the altar on the East part by the place of the ashes That is where the priest when he cleansed the altar did first poure forth the ashes which afterward were carried ●orth without the camp Levit. 6. 10 11. This place of the ashes was on the Eastside of the altar both because it was nearest to the doore of the tabernacle and so the ashes might the more conveniently be thence carried forth at the times appointed and because it was farthest off from the Sanctuary and so the casting away of the crop and the feathers in this place might teach them that all uncleannesse was to be removed out of Gods sight Holinesse becomes thy house O Lord for ever Psal 93. 5. Vers 17. And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof but shall not divide it asunder c. That is he shall cleave it the wings being still left onely the feathers pluckt off and though it must be cloven that so the inward part might be laid upon the fire signifying that God requires chiefly the offering of the inner man unto him yet it must not be divided asunder whereby may be meant that we should give up our selves wholly to God 1. Thess 5. 23. CHAP. II. Vers 1. ANd when any will offer a meat-offering unto the Lord his offering shall be of fine flowre
