38 τα θυμιατηρια τουτων των αμαρτησαντων εναντιον εις τας ψυχας αυτων· και ας καμωσιν αυτα πλακας δια καλυμμα του θυσιαστηριου· επειδη ουτοι προσεφεραν αυτα ενωπιον του Κυριου, δια τουτο ειναι ηγιασμενα· και θελουσιν εισθαι δια σημειον εις τους υιους Ισραηλ.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 38. Even that external worship which is merely representative of what is internal, the abuse of which causes spiritual death; and that, therefore, it is to be made the ultimate form of true internal worship; for with the wicked, externals without a corresponding internal are, at least, an outward acknowledgement of the Lord, and to the man of the church are useful as guides and incentives to internal worship.
