Notes, Critical and Explanatory, on the Holy Scriptures

There is but one God, who, as St. Chrysostom remarks, is here styled God of gods, to intimate His infinite superiority to all that were so called. As the term was also applied to judges, it may be under- stood with reference to them. God, whose justice they dispense, is infinitely elevated above them. — P. after St. Jerome, has : " The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken."

The Hebrew term which signifies house, was applied to the stalls of animals.

" Sacrifice praise to Qod." The inadequacy of animal sacrifices is clearly intimated. God at all times required the homage of the mind and heart— praise and worship. The praise of God is called sacrifice, because it implies the recognition of the Divine Sovereignty.
