Exodus 38:5

_AND HE MADE THE HORNS THEREOF ON THE FOUR CORNERS OF IT; THE HORNS THEREOF WERE OF THE SAME: AND HE OVERLAID IT WITH BRASS._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

1-8 In all ages of the church there have been some persons more devoted to God, more constant in their attendance upon his ordinances, and more willing to part even with lawful things, for his sake, than others. Some women, devoted to God and zealous for the tabernacle worship, expressed zeal by parting with their mirrors, which were polished plates of brass. Before the invention of looking-glasses, these served the same purposes....

EXPOSITION EXODUS 38:1 THE FURTHER PROGRESS OF THE WORK—THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FURNITURE FOR THE COURT.—Exodus 38:9-2.—AND OF THE COURT ITSELF.

CHAPTER 38 The Burnt Offering Altar, the Laver, the Court and the Metals Used _ 1. The altar of burnt offering (Exodus 38:1)_ 2. The laver (Exodus 38:8) 3. The court (Exodus 38:9) 4. The amount of metal used (Exodus 38:21) The pattern as previously given is closely followed and everything done according to the divine command. Nothing was left in the work to the choice of the workman. They had the pattern and the spirit of God gave the power to carry it out.

EXODUS 38. P S. ALTAR, LAVER, AND COURT. The great altar of burnt-offering is now so distinguished in Exodus 38:1 (in Exodus 27:1 * it is the altar). The laver is briefly mentioned (Exodus 38:8_ a_, _cf. Exodus 30:18_), the reference to the mirrors of the host of women (Exodus 38:8_ b)_ being regarded as a gloss because presupposing the erection of the Tent. In Exodus 38:9 the Outer Court is described (cf....

_EXODUS 38:1_. The brazen altar for the sacrifices, and the laver for the priests, are next fashioned: both typical of him, who made the one atonement for sin, and whose blood alone can cleanse our souls from the guilt or the defilement of it. This laver was made of the looking-glasses of the devout women, who frequently assembled to worship at the door of the congregation. Be it remembered to their honour. _Note;_ 1. They who appear often before the sanctuary, and in the glass of God's holy law see the deformity of their nature, will never spend their time at their toilette in admiring their persons. 2. When God's service requires it, we should be willing to part with any thing, however useful to us or precious, and count that best bestowed, which is employed for his glory. 3. When we go to the laver of Christ's blood, we must look into the glass of the law, and then we shall see mo
