And since the gnostic Moses does\r\nnot circumscribe within space Him that cannot be circumscribed, he\r\nset up no image in the temple to be worshipped; showing that God\r\nwas invisible, and incapable of being circumscribed; and somehow\r\nleading the Hebrews to the conception of God by the honour for His\r\nname in the temple. Further, the Word, prohibiting the constructing\r\nof temples and all sacrifices, intimates that the Almighty is not\r\ncontained in anything, by what He says: “What house will ye build to\r\nme? saith the Lord. Heaven is my throne,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_812\" id=\"FNanchor_812\">[812]</a> and so on.
