Whether I have given a correct interpretation of the facts gathered, the student must decide. It seems to me, however, that these facts shed much light on the true significance of sacrifice as a primitive Semitic institution. ' W. Robertson Smith, op. Cit. , p. 184. CHAPTER XVIII THE PLACE OF SACRIFICE, AND THE ORIGINAL ALTAR' We have already seen that there is no evidence among Syrians and Arabs of the existence of burnt-offerings. Has an ancient rite faded from their memory? If the position t...aken be true that usage now, among ignorant Syrians and among Arabs, is likely to represent primitive usage, then it seems probable, as has been observed in a preceding chapter, that the original element in sacrifice was not its consumption by fire, but in its being pre- sented to God, and if it were an animal, in its blood being shed. Let us approach this discussion from another point of view, namely, that of the altar. The Biblical student cannot well conceive of an altar, apart from incense, or one of which the main design was not the offering up of burnt-sacrifices to God.
