But this ground idea anticipates the spiritual and prophetic sense the ceaseless praise offering of the lips by the universal Church, fully brought out in Hebrews 13:15; Hosea 14:2.

Be thankful unto him Give thanks to him. As the priest led the victim to the altar, and the people entered the sacred enclosure and drew near to perform their part in worship, and in the religious feast before the Lord, they were to feel and express the gratitude and praise which their peace offering denoted.
