* do, or, offer. in your set feasts.
It appears from the account in these two chapters, that there
were annually offered to God, at the public charge,
independently of a prodigious number of voluntary, vow, and
trespass offerings, 15; goats, 21; kids, 72; rams, 132; bullocks,
and 1,101; lambs. But how little is all this compared with the
lambs slain every year at the passover. Cestius, the Roman
general, asked the priests how many persons had come to
Jerusalem at their annual festivals: the priests, numbering
the people by the lambs that had been slain, said,
"twenty-five myriads, 5,000, and 600."
