"All these things were types, and must continue in force till the Christ, whom they represented, came; the apostle therefore says that the body-the substance or design of them was of Christ-pointed him out, and the excellent blessings which he has procured. The word σκια, shadow, is often used to express any thing imperfect or unsubstantial; while the term σωμα, body, was used in the opposite sense, and expressed any thing substantial, solid, and firm." Adam Clarke
