Ezra 3:3-6

Observe the morning and evening sacrifice. Here again remember, Reader, as this was according to the law of Moses, the lamb of the morning and evening sacrifice was offered. And what could more fully shadow forth the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world? Observe what is said of the fear of the people. They were surrounded with foes ready to take advantage of their present defenseless state. But yet in the midst, the Lord's services shall not be neglected. Recollect, Reader, how it is said that the Spirit of the Lord was upon them, in inclining their hearts to the business. It is always profitable to eye the Holy Ghost in his gracious ministry.
