(From a letter)
“May I ask, in re-reading your lovely booklet on the Offerings of Leviticus, am I to understand that no meat offering was offered on the Day of Atonement? (Lev. 16, and 23). And yet in Numbers 29:7-11, we read of the ‘continual’ burnt offering with its meat offering, evening as well as morning, and its frankincense required in the Law (Lev. 2:1, 2), together with the burnt offering of the day with its meat offering (Num. 29:8,9) and the required frankincense, on the tenth day of the seventh month, and does not this refer to the ‘burnt offering’ for himself (Aaron) and for the people, in Lev. 16:24? For every burnt offering was accompanied by its meat offering (the oil, and the frankincense) and with its drink offering.
“The ‘meat offering’ — of fine wheat flour, with the oil, and the frankincense, and the salt — what a precious type and foreshadowing of the Lord Jesus Christ as Man, in Manhood, on earth. And do we not find Him foreshadowed as such in the offerings on the Day of Atonement? God’s food (bread) and ours.
“Moreover, regarding the ‘live-goat’ let go in the wilderness — do we not find the counterpart or antitype in Hebrews 13:20, in virtue of the blood of the everlasting covenant? “Just a few thoughts, dear brother.
Yours in Him

Thank you so much, dear Brother, for correcting me in this beautiful and important type.
