[321] Some of these titles of the Psalms are, however, very
uncertain. Gesenius thinks that this last title (Psalm ix.) means
that the Psalm "was to be sung by boys with virgins' voices." It
is, to say the least, a very curious coincidence, that in 1 Chron.
xxv. 4 the names of the sons of Heman, Giddalti and Romamti-ezer,
Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth, mean (omitting the strange
Joshbekashah, for which the LXX. Cod. Alex. reads Σεβακαιτάν),
consecutively, "I have given | great and high help: | I have spoken |
visions | in abundance." Had the names any reference to tunes?
[322] Ezra ii. 65; Neh. vii. 67; Psalm lxxxvii. 7.
[323] Of these, perhaps, were "the children" who shouted their
hosannas to Jesus in the Temple (Matt. xxi. 15).
[324] _The Temple and its Services_, p. 67.
[325] Exod. xix. 5, 6.
[326] Rev. xv. 6.
[327] Comp. Rev. i. 13, xv. 6.
[328] On this sagan, the later title for the "second priest," see 2
Kings xxv. 18; Jer. lii. 24.
CHAPTER XIX.
_THE TEMPLE SACRIFICES._
1 KINGS viii. 62-66, ix. 25.
"I have chosen this house to Myself for an house of
sacrifice."--2 Chron. vii. 12.
"Gifts and sacrifices, that cannot, as touching the conscience,
make the worshipper perfect, being only ... carnal ordinances,
imposed until a time of reformation."--Heb. ix. 9, 10.
The whole sacrificial system with which our thoughts of Judaism are
perhaps erroneously, and much too exclusively identified, furnishes
us with many problems.
