Exodus 29:43

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 29:38-46

In this paragraph we have, I. The daily service appointed. A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening, each with a meat-offering, both made by fire, as a continual burnt-offering throughout their generations, Exod. 29:38-41.

How great are our shortcomings! How many our "sins, negligences, and ignorances!" How little do we... read more
