It is delightful, even in our most common concerns, to trace somewhat of the ever-blessed JESUS. And it is delightful to the true believer in CHRIST, to trace in the church's history in the wilderness, that the faithful in those days were taught of GOD the HOLY GHOST, to be doing somewhat in all their transactions, that had either a near or remote view to him. As the children of Israel were enjoined to bring their slaughtered animals unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest; was not this in express reference to JESUS, who is the true tabernacle which the LORD pitched, and not man? Hebrews 8:2.
Leviticus 17:1-6
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
