Exodus 38

REFLECTIONS UPON CHAP. XXXVIII.—The work still proceeds pleasantly from that which is most inward and important. And let us observe that Jesus’ atonement for sin, and the purification of our conscience from dead works, are closely linked together; that fervent devotion disposes persons to part with that which others most admire for the service of Christ.
