Sacrifices concur in public worship, and meats also in daily life ; while the same ceremonial law treats of both, and is wholly occupied with these and similar matters. — /3pw//,acv, in meats) of which some have never been allowed to any, others not to all, and not always, nor everywhere. — KU^UM, in drinks) Lev. xi. 34 ; Num. vi. 3. — dfu,p6poi$ fiarrufjMtTf, in different washings) These were manifold, of the priests, of the Levites, of other men. — dixaiu- para) The apposition of the nominative and an oblique case, as Luke xxii. 20, where see the note. — 8iopQuffeu$9 of reforma tion) ^DTi, LXX., diopQovv, Jer. vii. 3, 5 ; therefore the verbal BiopdutfiSy reformation, corresponds to the adjective xpefaTuv, better, ver. 23. — sKixzipsva, imposed, lying upon) as a burden, without intermission.
