a God here repeats ſome of the former laws about ſacrifices, ! nor without great reaſon, partly becauſe they had heen general:'y : diſcontinued for 38 years together ; partly becauſe the generation ' to which the former laws had been given about theſe things was wholly dead,and it was fit the new generations ſhould be inftruted about them, as their parents were ; partly to renew the teſtimonics of God: grace and mercy, notwithſtanding their frequent forfei- tures thereof by tncir horrid Apoftacies and Rebellions : and prin- cipally becauſe they were now ready to enter into that land, in which they were obliged to pur theſe things iu praftice, Deut: 12. 8: &c. 6 According to thus tranſlation the ſenſe is, My offering,

Ezra1. 5. and 2. 63. ©c.) my ſacrifices made by fre, which may be underſtood either +. generally for all the ſacrifices, as that phraſe 1s ſometimes taken, as 1 Sam. 2; 28. where it muſt needs be fo meant, becauſe rhe burnt-ofterings properly ſo called were not gi-en to t::e prieſt, but reſerved to God himſelf, and the Prieſts

for burnr-offerings ; and ſo under them, as the moſt eminent kind, are contained all other ſacrifices ; as under the meat-offering here 15 contained the drink-offering. And according to this tranſlation and explic:tion theſe words contain a full and general rule, com- prehending all the particulars following in this chapter, as in reaſon they ought to do, and which otherwite they do not.
