Candid Examination of the Scoffield Bible

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the ark of the covenant, the wood of the ark typifies the humanity of Christ, because it was acacia wood, a desert plant, and He was as a root out of a dry ground! The gold typifies His deity. The manna was a type of Christ in His humiliation, because it was a little thing, but the old corn of the land, eaten after the manna had ceased to fall, means Christ glorified through resurrection and ascension. Aaron's rod that budded was a type of the resurrection of Christ, and smiting the rock to make the water gush forth typifies the crucifixion. That is the reason why it was so serious an oi fence for Moses to strike twice; for, says Dr. Sco field, Christ, once smitten (i. E. Crucified) needs not to be smitten again. Moses' act exalted himself and implied, (in type) that the one sacrifice was ineffectual thus denying the eternal efficacy of the blood.
