Observe also, the Apostle's remark upon it, 1 Corinthians 10:6-7. Reader! remark, that at the very moment the Lord, in the mount, was ordaining Aaron with peculiar honors to the priesthood, Aaron was aiding the Israelites to idolatry. Well might the Apostle say, the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity. Hebrews 7:28. Sweet are those verses concerning it. Hebrews 7:26-27.
