In
all
fours
cases
the
Hebrew
word
translated
whatever
is
ambiguous.
Does
it
refer
to
things,
to
people
or
to
both?
The
prophet
Ezekiel
clearly
understands
it
as
applying
to
both:
Then
he
brought
me
through
the
entrance
at
the
side
of
the
gateway
to
the
chambers
reserved
for
the
priests,
which
faced
north.
There
I
saw
a
place
at
the
far
west
end,
about
which
he
said
to
me,
This
is
the
place
where
the
priests
cook
the
reparaFon
[guilt]
oerings
and
the
puricaFon
[sin]
oerings,
so
they
do
not
have
to
bring
them
into
the
outer
court
and
so
transmit
holiness
to
the
people.

Sanctum
Contagion
Not
only
that,
but
Ezekiel
understands
that
even
touching
the
priests
garments
makes
a
person
sacred!
And
when
they
[the
priests]
go
out
to
the
people
in
the
outer
court,
they
shall
take
o
the
garments
in
which
they
served
and
leave
them
in
the
rooms
of
the
sanctuary,
and
put
on
other
garments
so
they
do
not
transmit
holiness
to
the
people
by
their
garments.

We
see
this
idea
mirrored
in
the
Gospels
:
A
woman
suering
hemorrhages
for
twelve
years
came
up
behind
him
[Jesus]
and
touched
the
tassel
on
his
cloak.
She
said
to
herself,
If
only
I
can
touch
his
cloak,
I
shall
be
cured.
Jesus
turned
around
and
saw
her,
and
said,
Courage,
daughter!
Your
faith
has
saved
you.
And
from
that
hour
the
woman
was
cured.

If
Ezekiel
is
correct
in
understanding
that
people
can
be
sanc&ed
by
touching
sacred
objects,
then
any
criminal
who
ees
to
the
bronze
altar
in
the
courtyard
can
nd
sanctuary
at
the
Tabernacle,
where
he
is
exempt
from

Psalm 88
Lord my God, I call for help by day;
I cry at night before you.
Let my prayer come into your presence;
O turn your ear to my cry,
for my soul is filled with evils.
My life is on the brink of the grave;
I am reckoned as one in the tomb.
I have reached the end of my strength.
like one alone among the dead,
like the slain lying in their graves,
like those you remember no more,
cut off, as they are, from your hand.
Sacrice, Part 2
32
Psalm 88 (cont.)
You have laid me in the depths of the tomb,
in places that are dark, in the depths.
Your anger weighs down upon me;
I am drowned beneath your waves.
You have taken away my friends
and made me hateful in their sight.
Imprisoned, I cannot escape;
my eyes are sunken with grief.
I call to you, Lord, all day long;
to you I stretch out my hands.
Will you work your wonders for the dead?
Will the shades stand and praise you?
Sacrice, Part 2
33
Psalm 88 (cont.)
Will your love be told in the grave
or your faithfulness among the dead?
Will your wonders be known in the dark
or your justice in the land of oblivion?
As for me, Lord, I call to you for help;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
Lord, why do you reject me?
Why do you hide your face?
Wretched, close to death from my youth,
I have borne your trials; I am numb.
Sacrice, Part 2
34
Psalm 88 (cont.)
Your fury has swept down upon me;
your terrors have utterly destroyed me.
They surround me all the day like a flood;
they assail me all together.
Friend and neighbor you have taken away;
my one companion is darkness.
