| Judges 2:5 | And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord. | Lord: holocausts to acknowledge his dominion, and sacrifices of expiation for the transgressions of the people. Only the tabernacle and temple were appointed for such sacrifices, though they might be offered elsewhere by dispensation. (St. Augustine, q. 36.) (Worthington) |
