Some of the sections so presented are no doubt Of minor interest. But under this form will appear the Law of the Ten Commandments from Sinai, the Covenant of the Second Table, with the incidents of popular rebellion, of Divine anger and propitiation, which led up to its institution, the Covenant of Holiness, with its impressive promises and warnings, in a mere legal assignment of Levitical and priestly functions will be found incorporated the stirring events of the rebellion of Korah, a whole Midianite war is narrated as a preliminary to a Law of Spoils. In this Constitutional History it would be more nearly correct to regard the supplementary sections as the main interest, and the narrative as secondary.
