He made the Rampart and the wall to lament this was the wall of the court Within the Rampart was the court and all the court was in length 187. and in bredth 135. cubits and had seven gates c. The Sanctuarie was not all of it in a plaine but in a cliffe or ascent of the Mount When a man went in at the East gate of the Mountaine hee went to the end of the Chel or Rampart in a levell ground And hee went vp from the Chel to the womens court by twelve steps the height of every step was halfe a cubit and the bredth halfe a cubit And all the womens court he went on a levell and from it to the court of Israel the mens court by 15. steps and all the court of Israel he went on a levell Thence he went vp to the Priests court which was two cubits an halfe higher than Israels And he went all the Priests court and betweene the porch and the altar in a levell Thence hee went vp to the porch by twelve steps And the porch and the Temple was all on a levell So the height of the floore of the Temple was aboue the floore of the East gate of the mount of the house 22. cubits Maimony in Beth habchirah chap. 5. 6. that they defile not or and let them not defile or make uncleane their camps for the least of these three namely the uncleane by the dead whatsoeuer he touched was uncleane Num. 19. 22. Hag. 2. 12. This taught them sanctification in abstaining from communion with sinne and sinners as the Apostle sheweth in 2 Cor. 6. 17. Come out from among them and be yee separate saith the Lord and touch not the vncleane thing and I will receiue you c. And in Heb. 12. 15. Looking diligently c. lest any root of bitternesse springing vp trouble you and thereby many be defiled I dwell in Chaldee my divine presence Sh●●inah dwelleth This reason respecteth not onely the former uncleanesses but the sinnes also that follow of transgression v. 6. and secret adultery vers 12. 13. So the Hebrewes also acknowledge as Chazkuni on this place saith Forasmuch as the Diuine presence of God is among them they encampe round about the Tabernacle it is necessary that they purifie their camps from uncleanenes cleare themselves from robbery from doubtfull wickednes as of the woman that goeth aside and to observe the things decreed for purification Vers. 6 the sinnes of men in Greeke humane sinnes that is any such sinne as men use to fall into through their frailty to transgresse a transgression that is to commit or by committing a transgression so in Lev. 6. 2. where this law is more explained The Chaldee expoundeth it to falsifie a falshood that is to speake or deale falsly the Greeke despising despised in Hebrew Mag●nal whereof see the notes on Lev. 5. 15. This is the second Law of Israels puritie and it is against morall sin pollution therby which the sinner was to purge by confession of sin restitution of dammage and sacrifice against Iehovah in the Chaldee before the Lord. This is meant in regard of his deniall or oath before the Lord as Lev. 6. 2 3. that soule in Chaldee that man it meaneth man or woman as before is expressed be guilty or be in trespasse Vers. 7. shall confesse This though it be here adjoyned to this particular belongeth to all sinne which he that confesseth and for saketh shall have mer●ie Prov. 28. 13. for God looketh upon men if any say I have sinned perverted that which was right and it profited me not he will deliver his soule from going into the pit and his life shall see the light Io● 33. 27 28. The Hebrewes set downe this duty thus All the precepts in the Law whether they command or forbid a thing if a man transgresse against any one of them either presumptuously or ignorantly when he maketh repentance and turneth from his sin he is bound to confesse before the blessed God as in Num. 5. 7. This confession is with words and it is commanded to be done How doe they confesse Hee saith Oh God I have sinned I have done perversly I have trespassed before thee and have done thus and thus and ●oe I repent and am ashamed of my doings and I will never doe this thing againe and this is the foundation of confession And who so maketh a large confession and is long in this thing hee is to be commended and so the owners of sin and trespasse offrings when they bring their oblations for their ignorant or for their presumptuous sinnes atonement is not made for them by their oblation until they have made repentance confessiō by ward of mouth Likewise all condemned to death by the Magistrates or condemned to stripes no atonement is made for them by their death or by their stripes untill they have repented and confessed And so hee that hurteth his neighbour or doth him dammage though he pay him whatsoever he oweth him atonement is not made for him till he confesse and turne away from doing so againe for ever as it is writen in Num. 5. 6. any OF ALL THE SINNES OF MEN.

Flutes or Pipes and Timbrels Psal. 149. 3. David also and the Prophets made Psalmes and Songs which some of the Levites sung whiles other played on the instruments 1 Chron. 25. and 16. 7 8. c. And the Hebrewes recording the manner of service in the Temple say There might not be fewer than twelve Levites standing upon the stage every day to sing th● song over the sacrifice alwaies And they sung the song with meuth without instrument There might not be fewer Psalteries than two nor moe than six not fewer Pipes than two nor moe than twelve not fewer Trumpets than two nor moe than an hundred and twenty not fewer Harpes than nine but as many moe alwaies as they would and but one Cymbal onely Maimony tom 3. in Cle hammikdash chap. 3. sect 3 4. over your Burnt-offrings a practise of this is shewed in Ezekialis time for he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with Cymbals with Psalteries and with Harps according to the commandement of David and of Gad the Kings Seer and of Nathan the Prophet for the commandement was by the hand of the Lord by the hand of his Prophets and the Levites stood with the instruments of David and the Priests with the Trumpets And Ezekiah commanded to offer the Burnt-offering upon the Altar and when the Burnt-offring began the Song of the Lord began with the Trumpets and with the instruments ordained by David King of Israel And all the Congregation worshipped and the singers sang and the trumpeters sounded all this continued untill the Burnt-offring was finished 2 Chron. 29. 25. 28. So when Solomon sacrificed at the dedication of the Temple the Levites that were singers and others with Cymbals Psalteries and Harps were arrayed in white linnen and stood at the East end of the Altar and with them 120. Priests sounding with trumpets And the trumpeters and singers were as one to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord and they lift up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musicke and praised the Lord For he is good for his mercy endureth for ever 2 Chron. 5. 12 13. of your Peace-offrings The Hebrewes say they used to sing the Song over all the Burnt-offrings of the Congregation which were due to be offred and over the Peace-offrings of the solemne assembly at the time when the wine the drink-offering was powred out But the voluntary Burnt-offrings which the Congregation offred c. they sang not the song over them Maimony in Cle hammikdash ch 3. sect 3.

Iordan in Hebrew Iarden in Greeke and in the New Testament Iordanes It was the goodliest river of all Canaan famous thorowout the Scriptures The waters of this river God did cut off and made them stand upon an heape at that time when Iordan over-flowed all his bankes untill his people Israel passed over it on dry groūd into the land of Canaan Ios. 3. 13 17. Elijah and Elisha the Prophets divided also the waters thereof and went over on drie ground 2 King 2. 8. 14.

The river Iordan ranne all along by the land of Canaan on the East side from the North end of the countrey to the South beginning at the foot of mount Lebanon where it is said to spring out of two fountaines the one called Ior and the other Dan and passed on to the lake of Merom by the waters whereof Ioshua vanquished the Canaanites Ios. 11. 4 5 7 8. and from thence it ran and emptied it selfe into the sea of Chinnereth forementioned and from that sea it passed along till it ended at the salt sea here spoken of where also the limits of the land began in vers 3. The promised land being thus inclosed and guarded with the maine sea Westward the inland seas and the river Iordan Eastward and at each end North and South with mountaines fore-shewed Gods providence towards his peple for their safe defence on every side And so it is written As the mountaines are round about Ierusalem so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever Psal. 125. 2. Vers. 14. sonnes of the Reubenites Hebr. of the Reubenite and after of the Gadite which the Greeke and Chaldee translate sonnes of Reuben and of Gad.

Vers. 17. shall divide the land by inheritance unto you or shall inherit the land for you that is shall take possession of the land for you and in your names and after divide it unto you as in vers 29. See vers 18. Eleazar the Priest and Ioshua in Greeke Iesus These were the two chiefe Princes and both of them figures of Christ who divideth to his people the inheritance of the kingdom of heaven the one figuring him in his Priesthood the other in his kingdome for if Iesus that is Ioshua had given them rest then would he not afterward have spoken of another day Hebr. 4. 8. The Priest had an hand in parting the inheritance to signifie that it was an holy worke and a shadow of heavenly things Also that if difficultie did arise he might aske counsell for Ioshua after the judgement of Vrim before Iehovah Numb 27. 21. And likewise for that the Priests and Levites though they had no inheritance as the other tribes yet had they cities and suburbs from among their brethren Numb 35. which also the Levites claimed of Eleazar the Priest and of Ioshua and the other Princes and had the cities and suburbs given them by lot before the Lord Ios. 21. Thus also the truth of Gods promise to Abraham was manifested for hee had said that in the fourth generation they should returne from their affliction and servitude into the land of Canaan Gen. 15. 14 15 16. And so it came to passe for Kohath the sonne of Levi was one of them that went with Iakob into Egypt Gen. 46. 11. 26. of Koath proceeded Amram
