38 17:3 the censers of these sinners against their own souls, and make them spread·​·out thin·​·plates for an overlay for the altar; for they offered them before Jehovah, and they are sanctified: and they shall be for a sign to the sons of Israel.


La Explicación  

Por 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.
