and bringeth it not] This is not onely a prohibition of the people from usurping of the Priests office, but a limitation of Sacrifices to the place expressely prescribed; yet by inspiration from God, sometimes other places were used for such holy Oblations, as by Manoah, Judges 13. 19. by Samuel, 1 Samuel 7:9. and Ch. 11. 15. and Ch. 16. 2. and by David, 2 Samuel 24:18. and by Elias 1 Kings 18:23.

Malach. 1. 11. Blood shall be] He shall be reputed as guilty, as worthy of death, as if he had killed a man, Isaiah 66:3. because the blood of the sacrifices was in equivalence the blood of man which was to be redeemed thereby, (as the water of the Well of Bethlehem is called the blood of those men, who hazarded their lives to breake through the host of the enemies to fetch it for David, 2 Samuel 23:17.) therefore the shedding of that blood otherwise then God did warrant, was accounted as the shedding of mans blood. cut off] He shall be punished by death, by the sentence of the Judge, if it be known; if it be secret, by the judgement of God: upon supposition of this sin, the Israelites prepared war against the Reubenites,?Joshua 22:12.
