It had been permitted of GOD in the patriarchal age, that masters of houses and heads of families, might erect altars and offer sacrifices wherever they found occasion. See Gen_22:13; Gen_28:18. Probably this indulgence had been abused, and therefore during the wilderness state it was restrained. Yet in gospel days one of the sweet promises was, that in every place incense should be offered unto the LORD, and a pure offering. Malachi 1:11. Reader! JESUS is our altar, by whom, and upon whom, we have access to GOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices in all places continually. Hebrews 13:15.
