## Chapter 17

Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapters 4 to 7 Chapters 8 and 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapters 13 and 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapters 19 and 20 Chapters 21 and 22 Chapter 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 Chapter 27 | #### Preservation from defilement. God owned and honoured After this quite special instruction of the day of atonement come some directions, not to purify from defilements, but to preserve from them either the people or the service of the priests (chap. 17). It is to maintain them as a people holy to God, and keep them from all that would dishonour Him in their relations with Him, and themselves in their relations with others. Life belongs to God. And where it is taken, it must be offered in sacrifice and in sacrifice of course to God. The blood must be sprinkled, and the fat burned on the altar. Thus the danger of secret departure of the heart to demons was guarded against, and God's title to life, and the truth of sacrifice were maintained -- all vital truths. Thus God was owned and honoured, and man's relationship with Him. |
