This phrase, which are offered by the Law, or according to the Law, is here added1 by the Apostle; for it is neither in the Psalm, nor in the former verses, wherein the foresaid testimony is quoted. It is pertinently inserted, to meet with an objection, which may be this, The forementioned sacrifices were offered by the Law, or by Gods own appointment: how then can it be imagined, that God should reject them?
- 1(c) [Greek or Hebrew].(c) 〈non-Latin alphabet〉.
To prevent that Objection, the Apostle here granteth, that they were offered by the Law: yet by inserting this clause, he implyeth a non obstante: notwithstanding that Law, God rejected them.
Of the meaning of this phrase, according to the Law, see chap. 7. v. 5. §. 38.
