"But we unto the LORD;
To the LORD are our eyes."(274)

5. In the sanctuary they did not blow the trumpet less than twenty-one
times, nor oftener than forty-eight times. Every day they blew the trumpet
twenty-one times, thrice at opening the gates, nine times at the daily
offering of the morning, and nine times at the daily offering of the
evening. When there were additional offerings they blew nine times more.
On the eve of the Sabbath they again blew six times; thrice to interdict
the people from work, and thrice to separate the holy from the ordinary
day. But on the eve of the Sabbath during the feast they blew forty-eight
times: thrice at the opening of the gates, thrice at the upper gate,
thrice at the lower gate, thrice at the water-drawing, thrice over the
altar, nine times at the daily offering of the morning, nine times at the
daily offering of the evening, nine times at the additional offerings,
thrice to interdict the people from work, and thrice to separate the holy
from the ordinary day.

remaining eight one lamb each. On the fifth day two courses offered two

course offered two lambs, and the remaining twelve one lamb each. On the
seventh day they were all equal. On the eighth day they cast lots, as on
other feasts. They said, "that the order which offered bullocks to-day,
was not permitted to offer bullocks to-morrow." But they changed in
rotation.

7. Three times in the year all the courses shared alike in the offerings
of the great feasts, and in the distribution of the showbread. In the
Solemn Assembly(276) they say to each priest, "Here is unleavened bread
for thee, and here is leavened for thee." The course in regular succession
offered the daily sacrifices, vows, and free-will offerings, and all the
