Synopsis
Excerpt from The Classical Journal, Vol. 24: For September and December, 1821
IT seems necessary that some notice should be taken at another sub'eet, from its intimate connexion with the histo of the ancient dolatry the Origin of Oracles among the Hen Nations. 1 do not wish to enforce my opinion as entirely cor rect, yet I cannot but think it is as well supported by internl evidence, as the generality Of those positions which are not we'r ranted by direct testimony. The Levitical law was not a collection Of arbitrary and post tive enactments, which were imposed for the first time by Moses, and the greater art Of which had been utterly unknown before; it was a renews of the patriarchal ritual and worship, with such changes, omissions, and additions, as were suited to the circum stances Of the tribes of Israel, on their leaving Egypt and cons mencing their wanderings in the wilderness. A minute resem blance, or more properly an entire coincidence, is roved to have existed in many respects between the Patriarchs and Levitical ritual and worship, by every proof and testimony which call possibly be collected on the subject. Our best divines are, I believe, unanimous on the point. There has ever existed 0 wonderful similarity between the customs Of those nations, who pretend to rest antiquity, the religious code of the Jewish law.
