“The approach of the Sabbath, and then its actual commencement, were announced by threefold blasts from the priests’ trumpets.” (Page 180)
“For the term Nazir is evidently derived from nazar, to separate” (Page 370)
“ the word Nezer is applied to ‘the holy crown upon the mitre’ of the high-priest” (Page 371)
“In the sense of separation the term Nazir was applied to Joseph” (Page 370)
“It symbolised the entire surrender unto God, whether of the individual or of the congregation, and His acceptance thereof.” (Page 126)
The Temple and its services form, so to speak, part of the life and work of Jesus Christ; part also of His teaching, and of that of His apostles. What connects itself so closely with Him must be of deepest interest. We want to be able, as it were, to enter Jerusalem ... to know exactly how the Temple looked, and to find our way through its gates, among its porches, courts, and chambers; to be present in spirit at its services; to witness the Morning and the Evening Sacrifice; to mingle with the crowd of worshippers at the great Festivals, and to stand by the side of those who offered sacrifice or free-will offering, or who awaited the solemn purification which would restore them to the fellowship of the Sanctuary.... For, amidst them all, we ever see that one great outstanding Personality, Whose presence filled that house with glory.
