IN many things this Offering was alike with the Rites of the Burnt, or Sin-Offering, and much of the same Signification; and therefore we shall only speak to it wherein it differed from them.
His Oblation, or his Korban, which the Greeks translate Gift; and so Korban is by the Evangelist expounded, Mark 7.11. Peace-Offering, or Pay-Offering: So Ainsworth, (Hebr.) a Sacrifice of Payments, or of Pacification, &c. whereby Men paid unto God Confession and Thanks for their Peace and Prosperity: Thy Vows are upon me, O God, 1I will pay Confessions unto thee. These Sacrifices were of sundry sorts, either for Confession or Thanksgivings, Levit. 7.11, 12.
1. The Peace-Offering was to be eaten the same day, which might signify how it behoveth us to hasten, and not delay to come to Christ, and keep God's Commandments; or,1 as Ainsworth hath it, with speed, whilst it is called to day, to be Partakers of Christ, eating his Flesh by Faith▪ and every day to be thankful to God for all his Mercies: If any of the Peace-Offering be eaten at all on the third Day, it shall not (saith the Lord) be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offereth it; it shall be an Abomination, and the Soul that eateth it, shall bear his Iniquity. Which may show us what a dangerous thing it is to defer or put off a hearty closing in with Christ to an after-Time, &c. On the third Day, what remained was to be burnt, which Ainsworth saith, chiefly signified Christ's rising from the Dead on the third Day, to abolish all Legal Offerings.
