Notes on the Book of Leviticus
Mackintosh, Charles Henry
Bible. Leviticus -- Commentaries
types, in their specific order, as so many variously-shaped caskets,
in which the Holy Ghost has treasured up, for the people of God, "the
unsearchable riches of Christ." There is no tedious repetition, no
redundancy. All is rich, divine, heavenly variety; and all we need is
to be personally acquainted with the great Antitype, in order to enter
into the beauties and seize the delicate touches of each type.
Directly the heart lays hold of the fact that it is Christ we have in
each type, it can hang with spiritual interest over the most minute
details, it sees meaning and beauty in every thing, it finds Christ in
all. As, in the kingdom of nature, the telescope and the microscope
present to the eye their own special wonders, so with the Word of God;
whether we look at it as a whole, or scrutinize each clause, we find
that which elicits the worship and thanksgiving of our hearts.
Christian reader, may the name of the Lord Jesus ever be more precious
to our hearts! Then shall we value every thing that speaks of
Him--every thing that sets Him forth--every thing affording a fresh
insight into His peculiar excellency and matchless beauty.

NOTE.--The remainder of chapter vi, together with the whole of
chapter vii, is occupied with the law of the various offerings, to
which reference has already been made. There are, however, some points
presented in the law of the sin-offering and the trespass-offering
which may be noticed ere we leave this copious section of our book.
