These are the commandments, &c.--The laws contained in this book, for the most part ceremonial, had an important spiritual bearing, the study of which is highly instructive (Rom 10:4; Heb 4:2; Heb 12:18). They imposed a burdensome yoke (Act 15:10), but yet in the infantine age of the Church formed the necessary discipline of "a schoolmaster to Christ" [Gal 3:24].

These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai - This has reference to the whole book. Many of these commandments are moral: others ceremonial and peculiar to the Jewish economy: Which yet are instructive to us, who have a key to the mysteries that are contained in them. Upon the whole, we have cause to bless God, that we are not come to mount Sinai, that we are not under the dark shadows of the law, but enjoy the clear light of the gospel. The doctrine of our reconciliation to God by a Mediator, is not clouded with the smoke of burning sacrifices, but cleared by the knowledge of Christ, and him crucified. And we may praise him, that we are not under the yoke of the law, but under the sweet and easy instructions of the gospel, which pronounces those the true worshippers, that worship the Father in spirit and in truth, by Christ only, who is our priest, temple, altar, sacrifice, purification and all.

These are the commandments - This conclusion is very similar to that at the end of the preceding chapter. I have already supposed that this chapter should have followed the 25th, and that the 26th originally terminated the book. Mr. Ainsworth, the whole of whose writings are animated with the spirit of piety, concludes this book with the following excellent remarks: -
"The tithes in Israel being thus sanctified by the commandment of God to his honor, the maintenance of his ministers, and the relief of the poor, it taught them and teaches us to honor the Lord with our substance, (Pro 3:9), acknowledging him to be the author of all our increase and store; (Deu 8:13-18; Hos 2:8); to honor his Ministers, and to communicate unto them in all good things, (Ti1 5:17, Ti1 5:18; Gal 6:6), that they who sow unto us spiritual things should reap our carnal things, (Co1 9:11), and to give Alms of such things as we have, that all things may be clear unto us, (Luk 11:41), yea, even to sell that we have, and give alms; to provide ourselves bags that wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not. Luk 12:33." They who forget their Maker, his ministers, and the poor, are never likely to hear that blessed word in the great day: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you; for I was hungry, and ye gave me meat; thirsty, and ye gave me drink; naked, and ye clothed me; sick and in prison, and ye came unto me."
Reader, thou hast now gone through the whole of this most interesting book; a book whose subject is too little regarded by Christians in general. Here thou mayest discover the rigid requisitions of Divine justice, the sinfulness of sin, the exceeding breadth of the commandment, and the end of all human perfection. And now what thinkest thou of that word, "Whatsoever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law?" Rom 3:19. But who are under the law - the condemning power of the pure, rigid, moral law of God? Not the Jews only, but every soul of man: all to whom it is sent, and who acknowledge it as a Divine revelation, and have not been redeemed from the guilt of sin by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; for "cursed is every one that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them." By this law then is the knowledge, but not the cure, of sin. Here then what God saith unto thee: "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law), what farther need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law; Heb 7:11, Heb 7:12. Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man; Heb 8:1, Heb 8:2. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins; Heb 10:4. But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, - neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. And for this cause he is the Mediator of the New Testament, that, by means of death, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. And without shedding of blood is no remission. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time, without sin, unto salvation;" Heb 9:11, Heb 9:12, Heb 9:15, Heb 9:22, Heb 9:28. We see then that Christ was the End of the law for righteousness (for justification) to every one that believeth. "Unto him, therefore, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." Rev 1:5, Rev 1:6.

The Twenty-Sixth, called שמיני shemini, begins Lev 9:1, and ends Lev 11:47.
The Twenty-Seventh, called תזריע tazria, begins Lev 12:1, and ends Lev 13:59.
The Twenty-Eighth, called מצרע metsora, begins Lev 14:1, and ends Lev 15:33.
The Twenty-Ninth, called אחרי מות acharey moth, begins Lev 16:1, and ends Lev 18:30.
The Thirtieth, called קדשים kedoshim, begins Lev 19:1, and ends Lev 20:27.
The Thirty-First, called אמר emor, begins Lev 21:1, and ends Lev 24:23.
The Thirty-Second, called בהר סיני behar Sinai, begins Lev 25:1, and ends Lev 26:2.
The Thirty-Third, called בחקתי bechukkothai, begins Lev 26:3, and ends Lev 27:34.
These sections, as was observed on Exodus, have their technical names from some remarkable word, either in the first or second verse of their commencement.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
34 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
8 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
