'having (or, when he had) put a covering over his face.' Ver. 35 would, I think, imply that as long as he was getting these divine communications he kept the veil over his face except when he went into the sanctuary. 2Cor. 3, which has been alleged for the opposite view, proves this, for it alludes to the fact in saying of the veil on Israel's heart, that when they turn to the Lord it will be taken off. 35:2 day, (c-19) Lit. 'holiness.' Kodesh. see Note at ch. 25.8. 35:8 light, (d-5) As ver. 28, and chs. 25.6; 39.37. 35:12 separation; (e-12) Strictly, 'veil of the cover,' or 'covering veil.' so chs. 39.34; 40.21, &c. 35:14 light, (d-6) light; (d-18) As ver. 28, and chs. 25.6; 39.37. 35:24 offered (a-4) Lit.

See Ps. 40.6. blemish. (c-17) Perfect. see ch. 22.22,24. 1:4 burnt-offering; (b-12) The Hebrew words for the four offerings are. olah -- burnt-offering; minchah -- food-offering; shelem -- peace-offering; chataath -- sin-offering. See Ps. 40.6. lay (d-4) See Ex. 29.10; Lev. 3.2,8,13; 4.4,15,24,29,33, &c. atonement (e-22) See Note g, ch. 5.6. 1:5 slaughter (f-4) Or 'kill,' and so elsewhere. bullock (g-6) Or 'calf.' 1:8 fat, (h-14) The Hebrew word is only used in relation to the burnt-offering and only three times; so ver. 12 and ch. 8.20. 1:9 odour. (a-32) Or 'offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah;' and so in each case where this formula is found. See ch. 4.31. burn (i-16) Properly 'burn as incense,' but applied also to the burnt-offering and to the fat; see Ex. 29.13, and vers. 13,15,17; ch. 2.2,9,11,16; 3.5,16, &c. 1:10 offering (b-4) Corban, see Note ver.2. 1:14 offering (b-4) offering (b-17) Corban, see Note ver.2. 1:15 bring (c-5) Elsewhere 'present.' 1:16 feathers, (d-9) Or 'refuse.' ashes; (e-24) The word is used for fat, but the remains of what was burnt, fat and ashes and all, were thrown aside. 2:1 oblation (f-8) Minchah, 'gift,' 'food-offering.' 'Oblation' will always represent this word. flour; (g-17) The finest part of wheat flour. see Ex. 29.2. 2:2 burn (h-36) See Note i, ch. 1.9. 2:4 cakes (i-18) A kind of thin cake with holes in it. mingled (k-22) 2:5 mingled (k-18) It cannot, I think, be doubted that this is more than, and intended to be more than 'anointed.' 'Mixed,' 'mingled,' is the sense of the word. In Ps. 92.10 it is not merely 'anointed' as consecration, but his whole system is invigorated and strengthened by it. It formed his strength; hence it is 'fresh oil' there. 2:9 take (l-5) Or 'heave.' so chs. 4.10,19; 6.10,15. 2:11 burn (a-22) See Note i, ch. 1.9. 2:12 offering (b-4) Corban, 'gift,' or 'present,' see ch. 1.2. 'First-fruits,' here in ver. 12, is 'beginning,' Gen. 1.1. The word for 'firstfruits' in ver. 14 is more strictly in general for 'first-born;' first-ripe in Jer. 24.2; Hos. 9.10. offered (c-19) Lit. 'shall not ascend.' see ch. 14.20; Gen. 8.20; 22.13, &c.; Ex. 25.37. 2:13 offer (d-36) Or 'present. 2:14 ears. (e-33) Or 'peeled grain of fresh ears;' or 'the fruits of the tilled field.' 3:1 offering (b-4) Corban, 'gift,' or 'present,' see ch. 1.2. 'First-fruits,' here in ver. 12, is 'beginning,' Gen. 1.1. The word for 'firstfruits' in ver. 14 is more strictly in general for 'first-born;' first-ripe in Jer. 24.2; Hos. 9.10. 3:5 odour. (f-34) See Note a, ch. 1.9. 3:11 food (a-13) Lit. 'bread.' 3:16 food (a-13) Lit. 'bread.' 4:2 sin (b-12) Chata, to sin. so also vers 3,14,22,27. and elsewhere. See Note b, ch. 5.1. 'Sin' and 'sin offering' here are from the same root in Hebrew. see Note h, Gen. 4.7. 4:10 ox (c-8) Animal of the herd, male or female. burn (d-18) See Note i, ch. 1.9. 4:12 he (e-6) Or 'one.' so ver. 21. out, (f-21) See Note e, ch. 1.16. burn (g-23) burnt.

See Ex. 29.34. 4:15 one (a-20) The expression 'one shall slaughter' has interest in respect of the point where self-offering and mediatorial work begins. It was not the priest who slaughtered, unless he were the guilty one (ver. 4), and then it is not as priest. I do not know that it is more precise in vers. 4 and 24. 4:22 prince (b-3) Or 'principal man,' 'ruler.' 4:23 offering, (c-16) 'Corban,' see ch. 1.2. 4:27 one (d-4) Lit. 'one soul.' 4:28 offering, (c-17) 'Corban,' see ch. 1.2. 4:32 offering (a-9) Corban, see ch. 1.2. 5:1 sin, (b-5) Chata, 'to sin,' as in ch. 4.2,3, is departure from the right. First used Gen. 4.7. Asham, 'guilty,' vers. 2,3,4,5,17, is guilty as regards one we are responsible to -- here God of course. adjuration, (c-11) See Matt. 26.63; Num. 5.21; 1Kings 8.31; Prov. 29.24. he (d-13) The word has the force of 'because he is a witness,' practically. 5:2 guilty; (e-44) See Note b, ver. 1. 5:3 guilty. (e-31) See Note b, ver. 1. 5:4 guilty (e-42) See Note b, ver. 1. 5:5 guilty (e-9) See Note b, ver. 1. 5:6 trespass-offering (f-6) The Hebrew word for trespass is derived from a verb translated, 'be guilty,' ver. 2 and elsewhere. atonement (g-35) Here is seen the use of 'atonement,' Heb. kaphar, to cover. It is a thing done for men towards God. It is not 'sprinkling,' 'washing,' nor exactly 'propitiation,' though that be nearer; but there was guilt on the man, a moral offensiveness which had to be removed out of God's sight. So it was in the offering. It was really bringing his trespass to God in the offering, but in the way of a given atonement for it, by entering into it as his. In ver. 7 it is lit. 'he shall bring his trespass [offering] which he hath sinned.' For the burnt-offering, which was also to make atonement [kaphar], see ch. 1.4. 5:7 trespass (f-23) The Hebrew word for trespass is derived from a verb translated, 'be guilty,' ver. 2 and elsewhere. 5:11 offering (a-22) Corban see ch. 1.2. thereon; (b-47) See Num. 5.15. 5:16 in (c-13) Lit. 'from.' 5:17 guilty, (d-29) As 'guilty,' ver. 2. See Note b, ver. 1. 5:18 trespass-offering, (e-19) Or 'according to thy valuation of the trespass.' 5:19 trespassed (d-8) As 'guilty,' ver. 2. See Note b, ver. 1. 6:2 wronged (f-31) As 'defraud,' 1Sam. 12.3. LXX has 'injured.' 6:9 hearth (a-21) Or 'because of the burning,' 'place of burning.' It is the only place in which the word is found. 6:10 ashes (b-24) See ch. 1.16. 6:15 take (c-4) Or 'heave.' 6:18 children (d-6) Or sons.' whatever (e-28) Or 'whoever.' 6:20 offering (f-4) Corban. 6:22 burned (g-25) See ch. 1.9. 6:27 that (a-2) Or 'whoever'. 6:30 in (b-17) Here it is the place of atonement 'in the sanctuary;' in ch. 17.11 it is 'in the matter of souls' -- lit.

(b-41) Lit. 'ephoded him with it.' Ex. 28.8; 29.5. The girdle of the ephod, which had a peculiar name, bound the ephod as well as the cloak, which was called the 'cloak of the ephod.' The other girdle was on the vest or shirt. 8:8 Urim (c-14) Light, or Lights. Thummim; (d-17) Perfection, or Perfections. see refs., Neh. 7.65. 8:11 sprinkled (e-3) As Ex. 29.21; Lev. 4.6 and 17. 8:14 bullock (f-6) 'Young bullock,' everywhere here. 8:15 for (g-46) Or 'upon,' as Ex. 30.10. 8:21 he (h-7) Or 'one.' 8:27 wave-offering (a-18) My impression is that 'wave-offering' is more 'consecration;' see Ex. 29.24. and 'heave-offering' more 'offering;' see Ex. 25.2,3. 8:28 burned (b-10) See ch. 1.9. consecration-offering (c-21) Lit.

Dabar is 'word,' agreeing with Logos in the New Testament; Omer and Imrah mean 'a word,' 'speech,' 'what is said,' and, if we except Josh. 24.27, are only used in poetic style. The latter form (Imrah), which is feminine, alone occurs here; 'saying' might have done for it, were it not otherwise objectionable. It fixes the mind more especially on what is expressed, having thus occasionally the force of 'promise' (Omer), as Ps. 77.8, or 'command' (Imrah), as Ps. 147.15. In the sense of 'word' Imrah is found twenty-six times, of which nineteen are in this Psalm, where it is distinguished from Dabar by a dot (*) placed before 'word.' A modified form, also in the sense of 'word,' is found in Lam. 2.17. 119:12 statutes.

'at large.' see Ps. 118.5. 119:50 for (c-8) Or 'that.' 119:57 words. (d-13) Or 'Jehovah is my portion.
