Chapter
XLV.—Sacrifices.
“But that He is not pleased with sacrifices,
is shown by this, that those who lusted after flesh were slain as soon
as they tasted it, and were consigned to a tomb, so that it was called
the grave of lusts.988
He then
who at the first was displeased with the slaughtering of animals, not
wishing them to be slain, did not ordain sacrifices as desiring them;
nor from the beginning did He require them. For neither are
sacrifices accomplished without the slaughter of animals, nor can the
first-fruits be presented. But how is it possible for Him to
abide in darkness, and smoke, and storm (for this also is written), who
created a pure heaven, and created the sun to give light to all, and
assigned the invariable order of their revolutions to innumerable
stars? Thus, O Simon, the handwriting of God—I mean the
heaven—shows the counsels of Him who made it to be pure and
stable.
