#38-46 A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning,
and a lamb every evening. This typified the continual
intercession which Christ ever lives to make for his church.
Though he offered himself but once for all, that one offering
thus becomes a continual offering. This also teaches us to offer
to God the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise every day,
morning and evening. Our daily devotions are the most needful of
our daily works, and the most pleasant of our daily comforts.
Prayer-time must be kept up as duly as meal-time. Those starve
their own souls, who keep not up constant attendance on the
throne of grace; constancy in religion brings in the comfort of
it.

* The altar of incense. (1-10) The ransom of souls. (11-16) The
brazen laver. (17-21) The holy anointing oil, The perfume.
(22-38)
#1-10 The altar of incense represented the Son of God in his
human nature, and the incense burned thereon typified his
pleading for his people. The continual intercession of Christ
was represented by the daily burning of incense thereon, morning
and evening. Once every year the blood of the atonement was to
be applied to it, denoting that the intercession of Christ has
all its virtue from his sufferings on earth, and that we need no
other sacrifice or intercessor but Christ alone.
