which he was to burn all the fat; but, to carry forth every other remaining Part of the Beast, even the whole bullock, except the Fat and the Blood, unto a clean place without the camp, and burn him with fire till he was confumed. Of which St. Paul takes notice, in his Epiftle to the Hebrews, and makes it to be a Type of Christ's Heb. xiii. fuffering without the gate.

For a ruler, it was to be a kid of the goats, a male without blemish; for any private perfon, a female kid or lamb; and fome of the Blood was to be put upon the borns of the altar of burnt-offering only; the reft, to be pour'd round about the altar; and the fat to be burnt, as in the other. But, in the two laft Cafes, the Remainder was not to be carried out of the Camp and burnt, but to be eaten by the Males in the Priest's Family. All the males among the priests fhall eat thereof; it is most holy. But no fin-offering whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal, in the holy place (that is, put upon the Horns of the Altar of Incense, as before) fhall be eaten; it fhall be burnt in the fire.

There

There were likewise Sacrifices of Expiation or Atonement, which the Priest made occafionally, eitherfor himself or others. One of these Days, we have mention'd before; which was the great Faft, or Day of Atonement, for the Sins of the Nation, committed in the Course of the whole Year; and kept annually upon the tenth Day of the seventh Month. Then it was, that the High-Priest, Lev. xvi. drefs'd in all the Robes peculiar to his Order,after having offer'd the previous Sacrifices, for himself, and for all the Congregation, took two goats; and prefented them before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle; and caft lots upon them, one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat, the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, was offer'd for a fin-offering; but the goat,on which the lot fell to be the fcape-goat, was prefented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a Scape-goat into the wilderness.

And

among other Ceremonies, the High-Prieft was to take a cenfer full of burning coals of fire, from off the Altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incenfe beaten fmall, and bring it within the

vail; (of the Holy of Holies) and put the incenfe upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incenfe might cover the mercy-feat. And when he had made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar; he was to bring the live goat, and confefs over him all the iniquities of the children of Ifrael, and all their tranfgreffions in all their fins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and to fend him away by the band of a fit man, into the wilderness: And the goat was to bear upon him all their iniquities, unto a land not inhabited. And in the End of these Prescriptions, is added; And this fhall be an everlasting ftatute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Ifrael, for all their fins once a year.

The Trespass-Offering was to be for

Levi.. wilful deliberate Sins, either in offending God by neglecting his Worship, or injuring their Neighbour by any kind of Fraud or Violence. The offering a Ram

The CONSECRATION-OFFERING. And lastly, the Confecration-Offering, was to be made upon the anointing of any to be a Prieft. This is the offering of Aaron and of his fons, which they fall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an Ephab of fine flour for a meat-offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night. And, after the Directions for the preparing it, it is order'd to be wholly burnt ; for every meat-offerring for the priest shall be Lev. vi. wholly burnt, it shall not be eaten as, for others, it might.

For the Sin-Offering, and the BurntOffering upon this Occafion, fpecial Di- Lev. viii. rections are likewife given. And, after 0- 14. 18. thers, in relation to the anointing Oyl and 22. &c. the holy Vestments, mention is made of the Ram of Confecration; the Fat and.

right Shoulder of which, were to be burnt; the Breaft to be eaten by the Perfon confecrating, and the Remainder by those that were confecrated. After which, it is faid; This is the law of the burntoffering, and the meat-offering, and of the fin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the confecrations, and of the facrifice of the peace-offerings; which the LORD commanded Mofes in mount Sinai; in the day that he commanded the children of Ifrael to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai,

Other OFFERINGS.

There were, befides thefe, Offerings of feveral Kinds to be made upon particular Occafions, by way of Purification; too long to be here enumerated; and which Lev. xii. may better be read in the Book of the xiii. xiv. Law it felf. I shall only observe; that the Offering for the Purification of a Woman after Childbirth, was to be a Lamb for a Burnt-Offering, and a Turtle-Dove or a young Pigeon for a Sin-Offering: and,
