For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; For her blood is in the midst of her - She gloried in her idol sacrifices; she offered them upon a rock, where the blood should remain evident; and she poured none upon the ground to cover it with dust, in horror of that moral evil that required the blood of an innocent creature to be shed, in order to the atonement of the offender's guilt.
