EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Priestly kingdom. “Priests and kings.” Chal. You shall rule over the Chanaanites, and so forth and you shall offer sacrifice to me, at least, by slaying the paschal lamb. This kingdom shall not be merely of a civil nature; it shall be also sacred. The whole nation shall be holy, separated from the pagans, and consecrated to me. Menochius.
