my renamed IN all LnelE SuIil, until they
applied to the priest, to make atonement,
and the blood of the victim was actually
offered up for them.
While the high-priest was making
atoncment in the holy place, the people
were engaged in prayer. Luke /: 10
And the whole multitude Of the people
were praying without, at the time of in
cense." In alIusion to this custom. the
Apostle says, Heb. 4 l4-l6, Seeing,
then, we have great high-priest, that is
passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of
God, let US hold fast our profession. For
We have not an hlgh-priest which cannot
be touched with the feeling Of our infrmi-
ties; but was, in all points, tempted like
as we are, yet without sin Let u.s. there
fore, come boldly to the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace
to help in time Of need
ment consists
The typical atonements were not ac-
complished by staying the victim at the
door Of the tabernacle, but, in subst qrent
act, by a particular use of the blood
When every thing was prepared, accord
ing to divine direction, the priest took the
blood of the victim, and made atonement
with it, by sprinking it upon and before
the mercv-seat. The death Of the victim
may b. regarded as the mans of atone
mcnt, masmuch as its blood was necessary
to II but the expiation itselfwas made, bv
using the blood in the manner described.
Lev. ": Ii. For the life of the flesh
is in the blood, and have given it to you
, upon the altar, to make an a,oncment for
an otonement for the soul" This per

/ blood of Christ Col : 20 "HavinC
made peace through the bloOd his cross. ."
