Exodus 30:8 And when Aaron lights the lamps at even, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. Consider this as — I. A TYPICAL INSTITUTION. Notice here — 1. Its daily use. 2. Its annual expiation. II. AN EMBLEMATIC RITE. In this view it marks — 1. The privilege of Christians. 2. The ground of their acceptance. Application: (1) How highly we are privileged under the Christian dispensation. (2) What a holy people we should be unto the Lord. (C. Simeon, M. A.)
