Doubtless it would be entirely symmetrical, but for the persistence of ancient customs too stubborn to be completely adjusted to a mathematical diagram. But we greatly wrong the law if we do not constantly bear in mind its moral presuppositions. The Pentateuch makes large provision for personal and social righteousness; and the ceremonial ordinances assume that the national life approximately corresponds to this high standard.
