As they all bring out substitution in the strongest light, we will ex- amine his exegesis and endeavor to show their true meaning. The first example. Lev. xvi. 20, Atone- ment for the Holy Place, etc. , we have already ex- plained in the chapter on the Day of Atonement, so it only remains to examine the exposition of Dr. Burney. Atonements. 303 Burney. — *'The holy place had no sins to be punished, but God required it to be relieved of such uncleanness as comes of connection with the unclean; a...s the uncleanness that conies of contact with a dead body. But the same sacrificial blood that sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh of the worshiper is capable of sanctifying to the ritual purification of the altar and holy place (Heb. ix. 13, 21, 22). By the blood, the altar, etc., were sanctified — to sanctify is to make holy, to conse- crate to God, and whatever is thus sanctified is ac- ceptable, or well pleasing to him. *'But to make acceptable is to make atone- ment. . * . *' The penal theory requires us to believe that the sufferings of the kid were penal, and that these suf- ferings made atonement for the altar, or rendered it acceptable to God; and thus requires us to believe that God substitutionally punished the altar, in order to make it acceptable to him, or in order to reconcile himself to it.
