23 Doch tot den voorhang zal hij niet komen, en tot het altaar niet toetreden, omdat een gebrek in hem is; opdat hij Mijn heiligdommen niet ontheilige; want Ik ben de HEERE, Die hen heilige!


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 23. But he is not yet prepared to realize his own inmost good, by the removal of all appearances; nor can he truly worship the Lord until his defect is removed, and if that good were manifested he would profane it. But the Lord from His Divine Good will remove the impediment, because He can sanctify man to the uttermost.
