At the celebration of their grand solemnities, per sons were to bring the victim to the priest, who laid his hand upon its head, and then read over to the congregation aloud, all the sins which the parties confessed. The victim was then slain, and when all the blood was extracted from the body, the fat was burnt to ashes, and the other parts remained the pro perty of the priests. During the time the children of Israel remained in the wilderness, they had no temple, because they had no fixed place of residence; but, to sup ly that deficiency, God commanded Moses and Karon to make an ark, or tabernacle, which was carried by the Levites from place to place. However, during that time, Moses drew up to them a body of laws, dictated by unerring wisdom, than which we find that nothing could be more consistent with the divine attributes, or more suitable to. The genius and interests of the people.
