Leviticus 17:11 — Verse Leviticus 17:11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood — This sentence, which contains a most important truth, had existed in the Mosaic writings for 3600 years before the attention of any philosopher was drawn to the subject.

Matthew 16:19 — earth, one is permitted to escape in heaven; and when the priests cast the lots on earth, the priest also casts the lots in heaven. See Sohar. Lev. fol. 26; and see Lightfoot and Schoettgen. These words will receive considerable light from Leviticus 13:3; Leviticus 13:23: The priest shall look upon him (the leper) and pronounce him unclean.
