Concise Complete
The altar of burnt offerings. (1-8) The court of the
tabernacle. (9-19) The oil for the lamps. (20,21)
Verses 1-8 In the
court before the tabernacle, where the people attended, was an altar, to which
they must bring their sacrifices, and on which their priests must offer them to
God. It was of wood overlaid with brass. A grate of brass was let into the
hollow of the altar, about the middle of which the fire was kept, and the
sacrifice burnt. It was made of net-work like a sieve, and hung hollow, that the
ashes might fall through. This brazen altar was a type of Christ dying to make
atonement for our sins. The wood had been consumed by the fire from heaven, if
it had not been secured by the brass: nor could the human nature of Christ have
borne the wrath of God, if it had not been supported by Divine power.
Verses 9-19 The
tabernacle was enclosed in a court, about sixty yards long and thirty broad,
formed by curtains hung upon brazen pillars, fixed in brazen sockets. Within
this enclosure the priests and Levites offered the sacrifices, and thither the
Jewish people were admitted. These distinctions represented the difference
between the visible nominal church, and the true spiritual church, which alone
has access to God, and communion with him.
Verses 20-21 The
pure oil signified the gifts and graces of the Spirit, which all believers
receive from Christ, the good Olive, and without which our light cannot shine
before men. The priests were to light the lamps, and tend them. It is the work
of ministers, by preaching and expounding the Scriptures, which are as a lamp,
to enlighten the church, God's tabernacle upon earth. Blessed be God, this light
is not now confined to the Jewish tabernacle, but is a light to lighten the
gentiles, and for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
