17 אַךְ בְּכֹור־שֹׁור אֹו־בְכֹור כֶּשֶׂב אֹו־בְכֹור עֵז לֹא תִפְדֶּה קֹדֶשׁ הֵם אֶת־דָּםָם תִּזְרֹק עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְאֶת־חֶלְבָּם תַּקְטִיר אִשֶּׁה לְרֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ לַיהוָה׃


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 17. But the good of faith in its three degrees, namely, natural, spiritual, or celestial, is from the Lord, and is not tainted with evil; it is holy; and it must be ascribed to Him. For such faith is conjoined with charity in all worship ; and such charity must be acknowledged as proceeding from the Divine Love, as being consecrated by it, and therefore as being well pleasing and acceptable to the Lord.
