Patrick observes , that before the temple was built , there seems to have been a tabernacle pitched for Divine service , as was in David's time , not on mount Moriah , but mount Sion , to be used while the temple was building. Let us learn hence to begin with God , and to do what we can in the worship of God , when we cannot do what we would. They could not immediately have a temple , but they would not be without an altar. Wherever a Christian goes , if he carry not with him the sacrifices of prayer and praise , he is wanting in his duty; for he has an altar ever ready that sanctifies both the gift and the giver.
