This divine worship God is very jealous of; this is the apple of his eye, this is the pearl of his crown, which he guards, as he did the tree of life, with cherubims and a flaming sword, that no man may come near it to violate it: divine worship must be such as God himself hath appointed, else it is offering strange fire, Lev. 10:2. The Lord would have Moses make the tabernacle, “according to the pattern in the Mount,” Exod. 25:40.; he must not leave out any thing in the pattern, nor add to it. If God was so exact and curious about the place of worship, how exact will he be about the matter of his worship! Surely here every thing must be according to the pattern prescribed in his word.
