VERSE 1
- The Samaritan inserts the first ten verses of this chapter
  after ver. 32 of chap. 26.

- an altar.
   * :7,8,10; 37:25-28; 40:5 Le 4:7,18 1Ki 6:20 2Ch 26:16 Re 8:3
- to burn incense.
  Where so many sacrifices were offered, it was essentially
  necessary to have some pleasing perfume to counteract the
  disagreeable smells that must have arisen from the slaughter
  of so many animals, the burning of so much flesh, the
  sprinkling of the blood.  No blood was ever sprinkled on this
  altar, except once a year, on the grand day of expiation.  It
  was called also the golden altar (Nu 4:11); and the incense
  was as constantly burnt on it every day, as the morning and
  evening sacrifice of a lamb was burnt on the brazen altar.


VERSE 2 
 - the horns.  See on ch.
   * Ex 27:2


VERSE 3 
 - overlay it.
   * Ex 25:11,24
- top.  Heb. roof.  sides.  Heb. walls.


VERSE 4 
 - rings.
   * Ex 25:12,14,27; 26:29; 27:4,7
- two corners.  Heb. ribs.

VERSE 5
    * Ex 25:13,27


VERSE 6 
 - vail.
   * Ex 26:31-35; 40:3,5,26 Mt 27:51 Heb 9:3,4
- before the mercy seat that is over the testimony.
  The words [                        ] {liphney haccapporeth
  asher ƒl haaiduth,} "before the mercy-seat that is over the
  testimony," are thought to be a repetition of the preceding
  clause, [                           ] {liphney happarocheth
  asher ƒl aron haaiduth,} "before the vail that is by the ark
  of the testimony; the word [         ,] {happarocheth,} "the
  vail," being corrupted, by transposing the letters into
  [            ,] {hacapporeth,} "the mercy-seat," and the word
  [         ,] {aron,} "ark," omitted.  This repetition, as Dr.
  Kennicott observes, places the altar of incense before the
  mercy-seat, and consequently in the Holy of Holies!  Now this
  could not be, as the altar of incense was attended every day,
  and the Holy of Holies entered only once in the year.  The
  five words which appear to be a repetition are wanting in
  twenty-six of Kennicott's and Rossi's MSS. and in the
  Samaritan Text.

  Myrrh is a white gum, issuing from the trunk and larger
  branches of a thorny tree resembling the acacia, growing in
  Arabia, Egypt, and Abyssinia.  Its taste is extremely bitter;
  but its smell, though strong, is agreeable; and it entered
  into the composition of the most costly ointments among the
  ancients.  The epithet {deror,} rendered pure, properly
  denotes fluid, from the Arabic {darra,} to flow; by which is
  meant the finest and most excellent kind, called {stacte,}
  which issues of itself from the bark without incision.

- cinnamon.
  {Kinnamon bosem,} odoriferous or spicy cinnamon, is the bark
  of the canella, a small tree of the size of a willow growing
  in the island of Ceylon.

  {Kenaih bosem,} {calamus aromaticus,} or odoriferous cane, is
  a reed growing in Egypt, Syria, and India, about two feet in

  scent the air while growing; and when cut down, dried, and
  powdered, makes an ingredient in the richest perfumes.

- stacte.  Heb. nataph.
  The Jews and others suppose it to be what was afterwards
  called the balm of Jericho, or Gilead.

- onycha.
  The word {shechaileth} is generally allowed to denote onycha,
  (nail-fish, from its form,) as it is rendered by the LXX. and
  Vulgate.  It is the shell of the purpura, and of the whole
  class of murex; and serves as the basis of the principal
  perfumes in India.

- galbanum.
  {Chelbenah,} (probably from {chalay,} milk or gum, and
  {lavan,} white,) is the gummy, resinous juice of an
  umbelliferous plant, the {bubon gumniferum} of Linn'us,
  growing in Syria, Persia, and Africa.  It rises with a
  ligneous stalk from eight to ten feet, and is garnished with
  leaves at every joint.  The top of the stalk is terminated by
  an umbel of yellow flowers which are succeeded by oblong
  channelled seeds, which have a thin membrane or wing on their
  border.  When any part of the plant is broken, there issues
  out a little thin juice, of a cream color, of a fat, tough
  substance, like gum ammoniac, composed of many small, shining
  grains, of a strong, piercing smell and a sharp, warm taste.
