evening. 3 quarts of flour for a meat offering, 2-1/2 pints of oil, 5 pints of wine--xxviii: 3-7. THE SABBATH DAY. 2 lambs, and six quarts of flour with oil. Here follow the Jewish feasts with their Sabbaths: 1st.--7th week Sabbath, 2 bullocks, 1 ram, 7 lambs, 1 goat, 24 quarts of flour--xxviii: 16, 17. 2d.--7th month Sabbath, 1 bullock, 1 ram, 7 lambs, 1 kid, 36 quarts of flour--xxix: 1-5. 3d.--10th of 7th month Sabbath, 1 bullock, 1 ram, 7 lambs, 2 kids, 36 quarts of flour--7-11. 4th.--15th of 7th month Sabbath, 13 bullocks, 2 rams, 14 lambs, 2 kids, 4-1/2 bushels of flour--12-16. 5th.--8th day Sabbath, 1 bullock, 1 ram, 7 lambs, 1 goat, 36 quarts of flour--35-39. [17]"And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses." Here is the 8th day Sabbath, which makes 5 Jewish Sabbaths, every one of them differing from the other and the Lord's Sabbath, no more connected with them than in the xxiii of Levit. just named. Here then is an unanswerable argument for a separation of the Jewish from the Lord's Sabbath, and shows conclusively what Paul calls "shadows" in ii Col: 17, and Hosea "her Sabbaths." And in the days of Nehemiah when Ezra had read the law to the people, viii (more than one thousand years after they were promulgated,) they bound themselves under an oath "to walk in God's law which was given _by the hand of Moses_, the servant of God." "And to observe and _do all the commandments_ of the Lord, our Lord." x: 29. And that there might be no misunderstanding about the kind of Sabbaths, they say, "If the people bring ware or any victuals on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the Sabbath or on the holy day," (31 v.) but they would "charge themselves yearly with a third part of a shekel" (to pay for) "the burnt _offerings_ of the _Sabbaths_, of the _new moons_, for the _set feasts_," &c. (33 v.) for the house of God, including what has already been set forth in Leviticus and Numbers. Now as their feast days commenced and ended with a Sabbath, so when their feasts ceased to be binding on them these Sabbaths must also, and all were "nailed to the cross." Now I ask if there is one particle of proof that the Sabbath of the Lord is included in these sabbaths and feast days?--Who then dare join them together or contradict the Most High God, and call HIS the _Jewish_ Sabbath? _Theirs
