274 The Gofpel 'of the Offerings and Sacrifices. what other Sacrifices bad they, betides thefe of Propitiation or Atone. ment. I anfwer as to that ; when I entred firft upon the SubjeE, you may remember I diftributed the Offerings at the Brazen Altar into two Sorts: Holinefs of Holinefs, and Holinefs ofPraifes ; or Sacrifices of Atonement, and of Thankfgiving. You find this Diftinaion of double Holinefs and Tingle Holinefs, in Levit. 2r. ia. he (hall eat the Bread of his God, that is, of the Sacrifices, both ofthe map holy, and of the Holy ; fo the Fruit of the Land after it was Circumcifed, is faid to be Holi- nefs ofPraifes to the Lord, Levit. 19. 24. Quodefh HiliKlim, is contra- diftinguithed unto Qnodefh'quode(him. The former fort ofSacrifices, namely thofe that were Holy of Ho- neffes for Atonement, were madeby Firer But the latter fort, viz.. fuch as were meerly Sacrifices of Thankfgiving, or Holinefs of Praifs, were not offered up to God in the Fire, but by other Ceremonies. Of thefe there were two forts, the Heave-Offering, and theWave- Offering; of both which we Ihall fpeak a Word briefly, both concern- ing the Matter, the Manner, and the Signification of them. The firft mention we have of them, is in Exad. 29. 24, 26, 27. in the Offering of Confecration. The Shoulder is an Heave-Offering, and the Brett a Wave -Offering. Again in Lev. 7. the right Shoulder and the Brett, are referved out of all the Peace-Offerings for a Wave-Of- fering, andan Heave-Offering to the Lord for the'Priefts, fee Ver f3q Again in Lev. 2.3. I o, I T. we read of a Wave-Sheaf of the Firft Fruits of your Harveft unto the Prieft. Andye 'hill wave the Sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted fir you. This was to be done 'the Morrow after the Sabbath of the Paffover, and fifty Days after, at the Feaft of Pente- colt, they were to offer two Wave-Loaves, Verf 17. 20. Thus you fee the Matter of thefe Offerings. TheManner, or the Rite and Ceremony with which they were of- fered, was Waving and Heaving, fromwhence they have their Names of Wave- Offering and Heave- Offering. Waving, that is, moving it io and fro round about towards the Eaft, Weft, South, and North, Tenuphah, agitatio, from the Verb Nag), which in Hipbil is agitavit, ventilavit.. Heaving, that is, lifting it up towards Heaven. Terumab, from Rum, elevará, extolli; Thefe were Geftures ( fouie may think ) fomewhat ftrange, and hardly -grave enough in the Worthip of God. But what was the Myfiery and Meaning ofthem ?
