11 For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 11. For external worship ought to be truly harmonious with internal; and in heavenly worship it is so, because therein is the conjunction of Divine Truth with Divine Good, whereby the external man is harmonized with the internal, since Divine Truth cleanses man from evil, because it is from Divine Good which is Life itself.
