the law: i.e. specific and fuller directions given to the priests, additional to those given to the People in Lev_3:1-15. So in the law of the sin offering (Lev_6:24-30, compare with Lev_4:24-31); the law of the trespass offering (Lev_7:1-10, compare with Lev_5:1-13). It will be noted from the Structure (on p. 134) that the peace offering comes before the sin offerings; but here, in "the LAW" of the offerings, the peace offerings comes last. This is because it has to do with the communion of the offerer; and this follows at the end of all, to show that this communion is based on, and must flow from, a full knowledge of all that which the types foreshow. Not until we have done with our sins and ourselves can we delight in Christ. See note on Lev_6:8. Compare Col_1:12-14.
