Notes

OUR readings finish the book of Exodus, beginning at chapter 27, and include seven chapters of the book of Leviticus. The great topics around which the chapters range themselves are as follows: Exodus 27, the building of the altar of sacrifice, the court of the tabernacle, the compounding of the holy oil; chapter 28, the garments of the priest, and the holy breastplate; chapter 29, the consecration of the priests; chapter 30, the building of the altar of incense, the brazen laver, the atonement money, and the anointing oil; chapter 31, men especially fitted of God to do His work; chapter 32, the idolatry of Israel when Moses was in the mount; chapter 33, Moses’ earnest plea for Israel; chapter 34, the meaning of God’s name; chapters 35 to 40, a definite carrying out of the instruction before given concerning the sanctuary.

THE book of Leviticus is so called because it deals with the various laws and ordinances given to the tribe of Levi in the conduct of sacrifice, worship, etc. Chapter 1 deals with the burnt offerings, of herds, flocks, and fowls; chapter 2, the meat-offering, or more properly meal-offering, because no flesh entered into it; chapter 3, the peace-offering; chapter 4, the sin-offering of ignorance for the priest, the congregation, the ruler, and the people; chapters 5 and 6, the trespass-offering, the sins of ignorance and knowledge, and the law of the sin-offering; chapter 7, law of the trespass-offering and of the peace-offering. Some have said, “If I have taken an oath and made a pledge, I must keep the oath even if it is wrong.” That does not necessarily follow at all. Note in chapter 5 that when one makes a promise, if that promise results in wrong-doing he is to turn back from his promise, confess his sin, and forsake it. The duplicating or augmenting of a wrong does not make it right.
