And the reaſon of this difference is not obſcure, both becauſe part of this Sacrifice was to be waved by the Hands of the Offerer, Levir. 7: 30: who mighs not come into the Court ; and becauſe this Offering was aot fo Holy as the other, which were tobe eaten only by rhe Prieſt, wnen part of theſe were eaten by the Offerer.
