In the Greek version of the Septuagint the word ιλαστηριον, hilasterion, is used, which signifies a propitiatory, and is the name used by the apostle, Hebrews 9:5. This mercy-seat or propitiatory was made of pure gold; it was properly the lid or covering of that vessel so well known by the name of the ark and ark of the covenant. On and before this, the high priest was to sprinkle the blood of the expiatory

Exodus 27:3 — the Hebrew seems to imply crookedness or curvature in general.His fire-pans — מחתתיו machtothaiu. Bishop Patrick and others suppose that "this was a larger sort of vessel, wherein, probably, the sacred fire which came down from heaven (Leviticus 9:24) was kept burning, whilst they cleansed the altar and the grate from the coals and the ashes and while the altar was carried from one place to another, as it often was in the wilderness.

Leviticus 19:28 — curiously carved or tattooed, probably for superstitious purposes. Ancient writers abound with accounts of marks made on the face, arms, &c., in honour of different idols and to this the inspired penman alludes, Revelation 13:16-17; Revelation 14:9, Revelation 14:11; Revelation 15:2; Revelation 16:2; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:4, where false worshippers are represented as receiving in their hands and in their forehead the marks of the beast. These were called στιγματα stigmata among the Greeks,

Leviticus 2:14 — salt, to denote as we have seen above, its stable undecaying nature, as well as to point out its importance and utility in the preservation of the life of the soul. The grace of God by Christ Jesus is represented under the emblem of salt, (see Mark 9:49; Ephesians 4:29; Colossians 4:6), because of its relishing, nourishing, and preserving quality. Without it no offering, no sacrifice, no religious service, no work even of charity and mercy, can be acceptable in the sight of God. In all things we

Deuteronomy 20:17 — their eyes, did not believe that they were bound to put even those deceivers to death; but they destroyed their political existence, by making them hewers of wood and drawers of water to the congregation; i. e., slaves to the Israelites. (See Joshua 9:23) Rahab and her household also were spared. So that it does not appear that the Israelites believed that they were bound to put every Canaanite to death. Their political existence was under the anathema, and this the Hebrews annihilated.That many

Joshua, at the command of God, stretches out his spear towards Ai, and then

1 Samuel 31:13 — muy caprichoso; esto se demuestra ampliamente por sus celos irracionales contra David, y su continua sospecha de que todos estaban aliados contra él. También es evidente, en su insensata advertencia relativa al asunto de la miel  (ver 1 Samuel 14:24-9 ; 1 Samuel 14:38-9), en la que, para salvar su imprudente y disparatado juramento, ¡habría sacrificado a su hijo Jonatán!
