CHAPTER XLVI. 259
The last regulations shew special provision not for
-meat-offerings only but for those for sin and trespass:
the state of Israel on earth still demands them. “ And
lie brought me through the entry, which [was] at the
sirle of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests,
win U looked toward the north: and, behold, there
.[was] a place on the two sides westward. And said he
unto me, This [is] the place where the priests shall boil
ihe trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where they
shall bake the meat offering; that they bear [them] not
out into the utter court, to sanctify the people. And
he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me
io pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold,
in every corner of the court [there was] a court. In
the four corners of the court [there were] courts joined
of forty [cubits] long and thirty broad : these four cor­
ners [were] of one measure. And [there was] a row
[of building] round about in them, round about them
lour, and [it was] made with boiling places under the
rows round about. And said he unto me, These [are]
the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the
house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.” (Ver. 19-24.)
The millennial age differs as decidedly from the present
ways of God with the church as from the eternal state.
AVu have here Israel blessed on earth during the king­
dom, Satan bound, but sin not *yet extirpated though
suppressed, and in certain cases grace meeting it where
it aid not demand a curse or excision.
