"The fact that the writing which brings the curse upon sinners has the same dimensions as the Tabernacle signifies that the measure will be meted out according to the Holy Place "; or, in the words of an English theologian: " Men are not to be judged as to sin by their own measures, or weighed in their own false balances the measure of the sanctuary is that by which man's actions are to be weighed"

(i Sam. ii. 3). And the judgment which is to fall on the unrepentant, unpardoned transgressor will not only be " according to the measure of the sanctuary," but in strict correspondence with the majesty and holiness of the law which has been broken: " For every one that stealeth shall be purged out " (literally, cleansed away, " as something defiled and defiling which has to be cleared away as offensive ") " on (or from ) this side according to it"

(namely, as already explained, according- to the writing on the one side of it); " and every one that sweareth shall be cleansed away according to " (the writing) " on the other side of it."
