And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; and the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. There is no access to God except by sacrifice; there never was, and there never can be, any way to God for sinful man except by sacrifice.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. Our great High Priest offered himself without spot to God, and he is himself...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. These priests were sinful, and therefore they must first themselves be purged...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. These two goats were not for himself, but for the people. You must regard them as if they were but one offering, for it needed both of them to set forth the divine plan by which sin is put away; one was to die, and the other was...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. One goat was to show how sin is put away in reference to God by sacrifice, and the other goat was to show how it is put away in reference to us, God’s people, by being carried into oblivion.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for...

Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: Twice, you see, is the holy place thus besprinkled, first with the blood of the bullock, and then with that of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. If God is to dwell in the midst of sinful men, it can only be through...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take...

And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: and he shall wash his flesh with water in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. And the bullock for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. Everything that has to do with God’s service must be clean and purified by fire, and purified by water. An atonement cannot be made by that which is itself defiled; it must be without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing before...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: for on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. The Jews had much rest provided for them. If they had had faith enough to obey God’s commands, they might have been the most favored of people;...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: Think of a Sabbath a year long, in which nothing was to be done but to worship God, and so to rest!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land. A restful period in a restful land; all land to have rest, and yet to have fruitfulness in that rest; the rest of a garden, not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, and for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. There was to be no private property in the spontaneous produce of that...

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the...
