In the Jewish economy the system of types and shadows,
sacrifices and offerings, was elaborated to its greatest
perfection. In the preceding ages, when each man was patriarch
of his own family, men had shown their faith in the
coming Saviour, by their family sacrifices, offered according
to the lesson handed down from Eden. But the time had
now come for a more complete and definite object-lesson to
be set before the world. The sons of Jacob went down into
Egypt, a single family; they came out, a great nation. God
took them as his people, and entered into so close a relation
with them, that he represented himself as being married
to them; for, reproaching their ingratitude, he says,
"Although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord." Jer.
31:32. He could now organize a theocracy in the world, and

them. Neh. 9:12-25,31,32. He made them the depositaries of
his law, by committing to them the lively oracles (the decalogue
of ten living commandments). Acts 7:38. He then
caused them to make him a dwelling-place, and carry it with
them in their journeyings, that he might dwell among them,
and go with them and give them rest. Ex. 33:14. And when
they were at length put in possession of the promised land,
it was in accordance with the covenant made with them at
Sinai. Ex. 23:27; Deut. 11:25; Joshua 1:3-7; 21:44,45. p.
