with_o the_o altar_n which_o be_v overlay_v with_o brass_n upon_o which_o the_o slay_a sacrifice_n be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n in_o sacrifice_n second_o that_o which_o in_o the_o verse_n relate_v

the_o work_n of_o christ_n suffering_n far_o it_o will_v more_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o 34._o verse_n tell_v you_o that_o for_o this_o work_n sake_n of_o christ_n
