Sacrifice only at tent; Levite mediator type; hard road; tithe travel begins

Cyril: …the doors of the tent he should not bring, that soul will be utterly-destroyed from its people.’ And that there was somehow every necessity at that time for those willing to sacrifice, to arrive unto the temple and unto the holy city itself, and to finish lawfully the sacred things, with those from Levi’s blood bringing them up, it is clear for you to hear God saying vividly in Deuteronomy: ‘You will not be able to eat in your cities the tenth of your grain, and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your cattle, and of your sheep, and all the vows, as many as you should vow, and your confessions, and the firstfruits of your hands, but rather opposite Lord your God you will eat it in the place which Lord your God should choose for himself, you and your sons, and your daughter, and your child-servant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the proselyte the in your cities, and you will be gladdened opposite Lord your God upon all, upon which you should cast your hand; attend to yourself lest you leave-behind the Levite all the time as long as he should live upon the earth.’ (Leviticus 17:3–4) For unapproachable is the Divine, and unacceptable the sacrifice without a Levite; for they mediate, imitating the mediator of God and humans, that is Christ. And that one is the Church, and one the mystery of Christ, and not lawful a sacrifice, rather even rejectable, and not having the pleasing God unless being finished in church, the law showed vividly, the sacred things needing not to be finished outside I say of the holy tent. And how great the watch of such things, you will know even from here. For there was nothing unfitting, rather even true, for the throughout all Judea not easily-numbered cities to be parted from Jerusalem by long intervals lying through the middle. And what the from here hard and hard-to-accomplish, for those willing to sacrifice a firstfruit of grain, and indeed of oil and wine, to be able to carry-through so great a path? And somehow hesitation would have made in some, the labor under hand, but it was unbeautiful, rather of the very most outlandish, since at least the matter was difficult, and not easy-to-set-upright for those lying farther away, for the beauty of the truth to be loosened, with those from Israel not bringing up the sacred things in the holy tent. In order then that with all the middle stumbling-blocks for us having been usefully taken out, and the law upon this might thereafter be led through unto what seems good to the lawgiver, Moses has pedagogued, and interprets the divine will in Deuteronomy, saying: ‘A tenth you will tithe of every offspring of your seed, the offspring of your field year by year, and you will eat it opposite Lord your God in the place which Lord your God should choose, for his name to be called-upon, there you will bring the tenths of your grain, and of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your cattle, and of your sheep, in order that you may learn to fear Lord your God all the days. And if the way should become long from you, and you should not be able to bring them up,’ (Deuteronomy 12:17–19) (1 Timothy 2:5) (Deuteronomy 14:22–24)
