Leviticus 6

We are to look up to the mercy seat, but to hope for mercy through Christ's intercession. We read (Leviticus 6) that Aaron made the atonement as well by the incense as the blood. We must look to the cloud of incense, namely, the intercession of Christ.

Blessed is he that does righteousness at all times. Child-like obedience is not like a high choler in a fit, which is soon over, but like a right sanguine complexion it abides; it is like the fire on the altar, which was kept always burning (Leviticus 6:13). Second Sign of Adopt…

Blessed is he who does righteousness at all times. True obedience is not like a high color in a fit, but it is a right sanguine: it is like the fire on the altar, which was always kept burning (Leviticus 6:13). Hypocrites' obedience is but [in non-Latin alphabet] for a season: i…

Constancy crowns obedience, non cepisse sed perfecisse virtutis est, Cyprian. Our obedience must be like the Fire of the Altar which was continually kept burning (Leviticus 6:13). Hypocrites soon give over doing God's Will; like the chrysolite which is of a golden color, in the…

Our whole hearts must go into them; and the strength and vigor of our spirits must diffuse themselves into every part of them, to animate and quicken them: And therefore the Apostle commands us (Romans 12:11), to be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. Sacrifices (which under th…

When Moses built the tabernacle and altar in the wilderness, and the first sacrifices were offered on it, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering, as in Leviticus 9:24; and so again, when Solomon built the temple, and offered the first sacrifices, as you may…

Or richer, than to enjoy but little of it, and live above it? And on the other side, extreme poverty is no less exposed to sin and danger (Leviticus 6:2-4). As high and lofty trees are subject to storms and tempests, so the lowest shrubs to be browsed on by every beast: and ther…

In some Places it means inward Principles of Action, as the Law of Kindness, the Law of Sin; sometimes it signifies only Directions and Rules of Life, as Proverbs 13:14 the Law of the Wise, that is, Rule of Wisdom. In other Places it includes all the Orders and Injunctions that…

Mark, it is in the Greek, they that are hungering and thirsting: these participles, as all grammarians know, note a continued act. The fire on the altar was never to go out (Leviticus 6:12). There are certain unfixed desires and unconstant motions, which for a time are very pass…

He that lies, does constructively steal: and the Apostle (1 Timothy 1:10) joins liars and stealers, and perjured persons together, and tells us, that the Law is against them all, and that they are contrary to sound doctrine. And if man's law were as God's, there would be a recov…

David's desire after God was not a high color in a fit, but the constant complexion of his soul. In the temple the fire was not to go out by night (Leviticus 6:13): The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar. There was, says Cyril, a mystery in it, to show that we must ever b…

1. Circumcision, and the ceremonies; and the priesthood (Exodus 40:15), (Leviticus 16:29) the fast in the seventh month, shall be a statute, for ever. (Leviticus 6:18) All the [reconstructed: males] of the sons of Aaron shall eat the remainder of the meat-offering, it shall be a…

8th Commandment: You shall not steal. He breaks this commandment: who lives in no calling (1 Thessalonians 3:11); who neglects his calling (Jeremiah 48:10); who spends his wealth in riot and provides not for his family (1 Timothy 5:8); who is not content with his estate but seek…
