The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

CHAP. IX. from Ver. 15. to the end. And CHAP. X. to Ver. 11.

BEfore the reading of the fifteenth Verse, the Reader is to suppose a Passover to be kept the fourteenth day of this second month, al∣though the keeping of it be not expresly mentioned, but only hinted; for on the fourteenth day of the first month, which was the proper day for the Passover, some men because they were unclean could not observe it, and upon their acquainting Moses with their case, he presently gives them a warrant, to keep it the fourteenth day of the next month, which they did no doubt accordingly, although it be not in plain terms

related. For the occurrences mentioned in the Book hitherto, came to pass in the first thirteen days of the month, [save only the offering of the Princes, which indeed began before the fourteenth day, but continu∣ed [World 2515] [Moses 82] [Redemption from Egypt. 2] beyond it; notwithstanding the Holy Ghost would conclude the sto∣ry of their offering all together,] and on the fourteenth day, those that had been unclean at the proper time of the Passover, kept the Passover by a new ordinance, so that the order of the story of this new Passover, is most genuine and proper here; but Moses could not relate the thing, but he must relate the occasion, namely because some could not keep it at the right time, therefore he giveth the story of the right time here, which as we shewed before, lieth properly between the tenth and ele∣venth Chapters of Leviticus.

From the fifteenth Verse of this Chapter to the eleventh Verse of the tenth Chapter, there is mention of two special things; namely the dwel∣ling of the cloud upon the Tabernacle, and the making of the silver Trumpets; which however they were indeed somewhat afore this time, [for the Cloud descended, and the Trumpets were made before the four∣teenth day of this month,] yet are they brought in here as relating to the removal of the Army, which is mentioned in Chap. 10. vers. 11. for then the Cloud was taken up, and the Trumpets were sounded.
