Evident it is, that these and the like passages, wherein our Apostle refers to the institution, § 3 nature, use, end and manner of the observation of sacrifices, cannot be rightly understood, without some distinct notion of them, as prescribed by God unto Moses, and observed by the people under the Old Testament. I shall therefore here give a brief system of them, and account concerning them.
Sacrifices of the Altar in general were [Greek or Hebrew] Corbanim. The name it may § 4 be of [Greek or Hebrew] is not distinctly applied unto every sort of them; but whereas every thing that any man [Greek or Hebrew] brought nigh to dedicate or offer unto God, was thence [Greek or Hebrew], we may allow it to be the general name of all sacrifices. And therefore on the close of the annumeration of all Fire-offerings, it is added, This is the Law which the Lord commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer, or bring nigh [Greek or Hebrew], their Corbans, that is, offerings or sacrifices of all sorts.
