1But to return unto the History, this seemeth wonderful, when as the law commandeth that sacrifice should be done but only in the place which the Lord had chosen, how it should be lawful for Manoah to sacrifice at his own house. David Kimhi answereth, that this was done by the authority of the man of God, by a certain extraordinary mean. For Elijah also sacrificed when he was among the ten tribes, that is, in the kingdom of Samaria. But those things he saith were peculiar, neither might they be drawn into an example of others. But I think ye whilst the ark of the Lord was yet wandering, & whilst it had not yet found any certain place, the precept of the Lord had not yet his full strength. For thus the Lord had commanded, after that I shall bring you into the land which I have promised you, ye shall not sacrifice unto me, but in the place which I will show unto you. Wherefore although before it was permitted to sacrifice any other where, yet after the Solomon had built the temple, it was not lawful to offer out of it: wherefore the high places were to be taken away, & they should sacrifice no where but at Jerusalem. But of all the kings, only Josiah & Hezekiah toke away the high places: so hard a thing was it to lead the people to the true obedience of god. But Elijah was moved by a certain peculiar inspiration of God to Sacrifice other where.
1But to returne vnto the Hystory, this semeth wonderful, when as the law cō maūdeth that sacrifice should be done but onely in the place which the Lord had chosen, how it should be lawful for Manoah to sacrifice at his own house. Dauid Kimhi answereth, that this was done by the authority of the man of God, by a certayn extraordinary meane. For Elias also sacrificed when he was among the ten tribes, yt is, in the kingdome of Samaria. But those things he saith were peculiar, neither might they be drawē into an exāple of others. But I thinke ye whilest the arke of the Lord was yet wandryng, & whilest it had not yet founde any certayne place, ye precept of the Lord had not yet his full strength. For thus the Lorde had cōmaunded, after that I shall bring you into the lande whiche I haue promised you, ye shall not sacrifice vnto me, but in ye place which I wil shew vnto you. Wherfore although before it was permitted to sacrifice any other wher, yet after ye Salomon had built the tēple, it was not lawful to offer out of it: wherfore the highe places were to be takē away, & they should sacrifice no where but at Ierusalē. But of al the kings, onely Iosias & Ezechias toke away ye high places: so hard a thing was it to leade ye people to ye true obediēce of god. But Elias was moued by a certayne peculiar inspiration of God to Sacrifice other where.
