- the prince's:
- The prince is never mentioned in the ritual appointments of Moses, but here he is required to provide the oblations; and the variations in the Mosaic law, in the number of the several sacrifices, and the proportion of the meat offering to each, being ten times as much as the law prescribed, with several other circumstances, seem more like enacting a new law, than enforcing that of Moses. These variations may intimate a change in the external constitution of the church; and it is probable that they are to be understood emblematically. "And the burnt offeringª that¹ the princeª shall offerª° unto the LORDª in the sabbathª dayª [shall be] sixª lambsª without blemish,ª and a ramª without blemish.ª ... Now when¹ the princeª shall prepareª° a voluntaryª burnt offeringª or¹ peace offeringsª voluntarilyª unto the LORD,ª [one] shall then openª° him¹ the gateª that lookethª° toward the east,ª and he shall prepareª°¹ his burnt offeringª and his peace offerings,ª as¹ he didª° on the sabbathª day:ª then he shall go forth;ª° and afterª his going forthª° [one] shall shutª°¹ the gate.ª" {Ezk 46:4-12} + "And he dealtª° among all¹ the people,ª [even] among the whole¹ multitudeª of Israel,ª as well to¹ the womenª as men,ª¹ to every oneª aª cakeª of bread,ª and a¹ good pieceª [of flesh], and a¹ flagonª [of wine]. So all¹ the peopleª departed²°¹ every oneª to his house.ª" {2Sm 6:19} + "And Solomonª offeredª°¹ a sacrificeª of peace offerings,ª which¹ he offeredª° unto the LORD,ª twoª and twentyª thousandª oxen,ª and an hundredª and twentyª thousandª sheep.ª So the kingª and all¹ the childrenª of Israelª dedicatedª°¹ the houseª of the LORD.ª ... The same¹ dayª did the kingª hallowª°¹ the middleª of the courtª that¹ [was] beforeª the houseª of the LORD:ª for¹ there¹ he offeredª°¹ burnt offerings,ª and meat offerings,ª and the fatª of the peace offerings:ª because¹ the brasenª altarª that¹ [was] beforeª the LORDª [was] too littleª to receiveª°¹¹ the burnt offerings,ª and meat offerings,ª and the fatª of the peace offerings.ª" {1Kg 8:63-64} + "And when Davidª had made an endª° of offeringª°¹ the burnt offeringsª and the peace offerings,ª he blessedª°¹ the peopleª in the nameª of the LORD.ª ... And he dealtª° to every oneª¹ of Israel,ª both manª¹ and woman,ª to every oneª a loafª of bread,ª and a good piece of flesh,ª and a flagonª [of wine]." {1Ch 16:2-3} + "Moreover,¹ because I have set my affectionª° to the houseª of my God,ª I haveª of mine own proper good,ª of goldª and silver,ª [which] I have givenª° to the houseª of my God,ª over¹ and above² all¹¹ that I have preparedª° for the holyª house,ª ... Then the peopleª rejoiced,ª° for¹ that they offered willingly,ª° because¹ with perfectª heartª they offered willinglyª° to the LORD:ª and Davidª the kingª also¹ rejoicedª° with greatª joy.ª" {1Ch 29:3-9} + "Also kingª Solomon,ª and all¹ the congregationª of Israelª that were assembledª° unto¹ him beforeª the ark,ª sacrificedª° sheepª and oxen,ª which¹ could not¹ be toldª° nor¹ numberedª° for multitude.ª¹" {2Ch 5:6} + "Then the kingª and all¹ the peopleª offeredª° sacrificesª beforeª the LORD.ª ... And kingª Solomonª offeredª°¹ a sacrificeª of twentyª and twoª thousandª oxen,ª and an hundredª and twentyª thousandª sheep:ª so the kingª and all¹ the peopleª dedicatedª°¹ the houseª of God.ª" {2Ch 7:4-5} + "Then¹ Solomonª offeredª° burnt offeringsª unto the LORDª on¹ the altarª of the LORD,ª which¹ he had builtª° beforeª the porch,ª ... Even after a certain rateª every day,ª offeringª° according to the commandmentª of Moses,ª on the sabbaths,ª and on the new moons,ª and on the solemn feasts,ª threeª timesª in the year,ª [even] in the feastª of unleavened bread,ª and in the feastª of weeks,ª and in the feastª of tabernacles.ª" {2Ch 8:12-13} + "For¹ Hezekiahª kingª of Judahª did giveª° to the congregationª a thousandª bullocksª and sevenª thousandª sheep;ª and the princesª gaveª° to the congregationª a thousandª bullocksª and tenª thousandª sheep:ª and a great numberª of priestsª sanctified²° themselves.¹" {2Ch 30:24} + "[He appointed] also the king'sª portionª of¹ his substanceª for the burnt offerings,ª [to wit], for the morningª and eveningª burnt offerings,ª and the burnt offeringsª for the sabbaths,ª and for the new moons,ª and for the set feasts,ª as [it is] writtenª° in the lawª of the LORD.ª" {2Ch 31:3} + "And Josiahª gaveª° to the people,ªª of the flock,ª lambsª and kids,ªª all¹ for the passover offerings,ª for all¹ that were present,ª° to the numberª of thirtyª thousand,ª and threeª thousandª bullocks:ª these¹ [were] of the king'sª substance.ª¹ ... And his princesª gaveª° willinglyª unto the people,ª to the priests,ª and to the Levites:ª Hilkiahª and Zechariahª and Jehiel,ª rulersª of the houseª of God,ª gaveª° unto the priestsª for the passover offeringsª two thousandª and sixª hundredª [small cattle], and threeª hundredª oxen.ª" {2Ch 35:7-8} + "Then rose upª° the chiefª of the fathersª of Judahª and Benjamin,ª and the priests,ª and the Levites,ª with all¹ [them]¹ whose spiritª Godª had raised,ª° to go upª° to buildª°¹ the houseª of the LORDª which¹ [is] in Jerusalem.ª" {Ezr 1:5} + "Moreover I² makeª° a decreeª whatª¹ ye shall doª° toª the eldersª° of theseª Jewsª for the buildingª° of thisª houseª of God:ª that of the king's² goods,ª¹¹ [even] ofª the tributeª beyondª the river,ª forthwithª expensesª beª° givenª° unto theseª men,ª that¹ they be notª hindered.ª° ... And that¹ which² they have need of,ª° both youngª bullocks,ª and rams,ª and lambs,ª for the burnt offeringsª of the Godª of heaven,ª wheat,ª salt,ª wine,ª and oil,ª according to the appointmentª of the priestsª which¹ [are] at Jerusalem,ª let it beª° givenª° them dayª by dayª withoutª¹ fail:ª" {Ezr 6:8-9} + "Thou hast ascendedª° on high,ª thou hast led captivity² captive:ª°¹ thou hast receivedª° giftsª for men;ª yea, [for] the rebelliousª° also,¹ that the LORDª Godª might dwellª° [among them]." {Psa 68:18} + "Andª ofª hisª fulnessª have²° allª weª received,ª° andª graceª forª grace.ª" {Jhn 1:16} + "Orª whoª hath first given²°¹ to him,ª andª it shall be recompensedª° unto himª again?²° ...
