Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle--as occupying the intermediate space between the court where the people stood, and the dwelling-place of Israel's king, and therefore the fittest spot for the priests being duly prepared for entrance, and the people witnessing the ceremony of inauguration.
wash them with water. And . . . take the garments--The manner in which these parts of the ceremonial were performed is minutely described, and in discovering their symbolical import, which indeed, is sufficiently plain and obvious, we have inspired authority to guide us. It signified the necessity and importance of moral purity or holiness (Isa 52:11; Joh 13:10; Co2 7:1; Pe1 3:21). In like manner, the investiture with the holy garments signified their being clothed with righteousness (Rev 19:8) and equipped as men active and well-prepared for the service of God; the anointing the high priest with oil denoted that he was to be filled with the influences of the Spirit, for the edification and delight of the church (Lev 10:7; Psa 45:7; Isa 61:1; Jo1 2:27), and as he was officially a type of Christ (Heb 7:26; Joh 3:34; also Mat 3:16; Mat 11:29). |
The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Aaron
shares in the washing (i.e, symbol of regeneration), (Tit 3:5); (Joh 3:5); (Joh 3:6).
(1) as needing it, be in this in contrast with Christ (Heb 7:26-28).
(2) to typify Christ's action, who received the baptism of John, not as needing it, but as thus identifying Himself with sinners, and as fulfilling the Aaronic type. As in Aaron's case, His anointing followed the washing (Exo 29:4); (Exo 29:7); (Mat 3:14-16).
wash
distinguish the washing from the use of the laver. (Exo 30:18-21)
This washing typifies regeneration;
(Tit 3:5)
the laver, daily cleansing;
(Jo1 1:9)
See both (Joh 13:10). |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
They were to be consecrated at the door of the tabernacle - God was pleased to dwell in the tabernacle, the people attending in the courts, so that the door between the court and the tabernacle was the fittest place for them to be consecrated in, who were to mediate between God and man, and to stand between both, and lay their hands (as it were) upon both. Here they were to be washed, signifying that they must be clean who bear the vessels of the Lord, Isa 52:11. And they were to be clothed with the holy garments, to signify that it was not sufficient for them to put away the pollutions of sin, but they must put on the graces of the Spirit, be clothed with righteousness, Psa 132:9. They must be girded, as men prepared and strengthened for their work; and they must be robed and crowned, as men that counted their work and office their true honour. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Thou - shalt wash them - This was done emblematically, to signify that they were to put away all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and perfect holiness in the fear of God; Co2 7:1. |
29 Take [142] my [3450] yoke [2218] upon [1909] you [5209], and [2532] learn [3129] of [575] me [1700]; for [3754] I am [1510] meek [4235] and [2532] lowly [5011] in heart [2588]: and [2532] ye shall find [2147] rest [372] unto your [5216] souls [5590].
16 And [2532] Jesus [2424], when he was baptized [907], went up [305] straightway [2117] out of [575] the water [5204]: and [2532], lo [2400], the heavens [3772] were opened [455] unto him [846], and [2532] he saw [1492] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316] descending [2597] like [5616] a dove [4058], and [2532] lighting [2064] upon [1909] him [846]:
34 For [1063] he whom [3739] God [2316] hath sent [649] speaketh [2980] the words [4487] of God [2316]: for [1063] God [2316] giveth [1325] not [3756] the Spirit [4151] by [1537] measure [3358] unto him.
26 For [1063] such [5108] an high priest [749] became [4241] us [2254], who is holy [3741], harmless [172], undefiled [283], separate [5563] from [575] sinners [268], and [2532] made [1096] higher than [5308] the heavens [3772];
27 But [2532] the anointing [5545] which [3739] ye [5210] have received [2983] of [575] him [846] abideth [3306] in [1722] you [5213], and [2532] ye need [5532] [2192] not [3756] that [2443] any man [5100] teach [1321] you [5209]: but [235] as [5613] the same [846] anointing [5545] teacheth [1321] you [5209] of [4012] all things [3956], and [2532] is [2076] truth [227], and [2532] is [2076] no [3756] lie [5579], and [2532] even as [2531] it hath taught [1321] you [5209], ye shall abide [3306] in [1722] him [846].
1 The Spirit [07307] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] is upon me; because the LORD [03068] hath anointed [04886] me to preach good tidings [01319] unto the meek [06035]; he hath sent [07971] me to bind up [02280] the brokenhearted [07665] [03820], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] to the captives [07617], and the opening of the prison [06495] to them that are bound [0631];
7 Thou lovest [0157] righteousness [06664], and hatest [08130] wickedness [07562]: therefore God [0430], thy God [0430], hath anointed [04886] thee with the oil [08081] of gladness [08342] above thy fellows [02270].
7 And ye shall not go out [03318] from the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], lest ye die [04191]: for the anointing [04888] oil [08081] of the LORD [03068] is upon you. And they did [06213] according to the word [01697] of Moses [04872].
8 And [2532] to her [846] was granted [1325] that [2443] she should be arrayed [4016] in fine linen [1039], clean [2513] and [2532] white [2986]: for [1063] the fine linen [1039] is [2076] the righteousness [1345] of saints [40].
21 The like figure [499] whereunto [3739] even baptism [908] doth [4982] also [2532] now [3568] save [4982] us [2248] (not [3756] the putting away [595] of the filth [4509] of the flesh [4561], but [235] the answer [1906] of a good [18] conscience [4893] toward [1519] God [2316],) by [1223] the resurrection [386] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
1 Having [2192] therefore [3767] these [5025] promises [1860], dearly beloved [27], let us cleanse [2511] ourselves [1438] from [575] all [3956] filthiness [3436] of the flesh [4561] and [2532] spirit [4151], perfecting [2005] holiness [42] in [1722] the fear [5401] of God [2316].
10 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] to him [846], He that is washed [3068] needeth [5532] not [3756] [2192] save [2228] to wash [3538] his feet [4228], but [235] is [2076] clean [2513] every whit [3650]: and [2532] ye [5210] are [2075] clean [2513], but [235] not [3780] all [3956].
11 Depart [05493] ye, depart [05493] ye, go ye out [03318] from thence, touch [05060] no unclean [02931] thing; go ye out [03318] of the midst [08432] of her; be ye clean [01305], that bear [05375] the vessels [03627] of the LORD [03068].
10 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] to him [846], He that is washed [3068] needeth [5532] not [3756] [2192] save [2228] to wash [3538] his feet [4228], but [235] is [2076] clean [2513] every whit [3650]: and [2532] ye [5210] are [2075] clean [2513], but [235] not [3780] all [3956].
9 If [1437] we confess [3670] our [2257] sins [266], he is [2076] faithful [4103] and [2532] just [1342] to [2443] forgive [863] us [2254] our sins [266], and [2532] to cleanse [2511] us [2248] from [575] all [3956] unrighteousness [93].
5 Not [3756] by [1537] works [2041] of [1722] righteousness [1343] which [3739] we [2249] have done [4160], but [235] according to [2596] his [846] mercy [1656] he saved [4982] us [2248], by [1223] the washing [3067] of regeneration [3824], and [2532] renewing [342] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151];
18 Thou shalt also make [06213] a laver [03595] of brass [05178], and his foot [03653] also of brass [05178], to wash [07364] withal: and thou shalt put [05414] it between the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] and the altar [04196], and thou shalt put [05414] water [04325] therein.
19 For Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall wash [07364] their hands [03027] and their feet [07272] thereat:
20 When they go [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], they shall wash [07364] with water [04325], that they die [04191] not; or when they come near [05066] to the altar [04196] to minister [08334], to burn offering [06999] made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]:
21 So they shall wash [07364] their hands [03027] and their feet [07272], that they die [04191] not: and it shall be a statute [02706] for ever [05769] to them, even to him and to his seed [02233] throughout their generations [01755].
14 But [1161] John [2491] forbad [1254] him, saying [3004], I [1473] have [2192] need [5532] to be baptized [907] of [5259] thee [4675], and [2532] comest [2064] thou [4771] to [4314] me [3165]?
15 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Suffer [863] it to be so now [737]: for [1063] thus [3779] it becometh [4241] [2076] us [2254] to fulfil [4137] all [3956] righteousness [1343]. Then [5119] he suffered [863] him [846].
16 And [2532] Jesus [2424], when he was baptized [907], went up [305] straightway [2117] out of [575] the water [5204]: and [2532], lo [2400], the heavens [3772] were opened [455] unto him [846], and [2532] he saw [1492] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316] descending [2597] like [5616] a dove [4058], and [2532] lighting [2064] upon [1909] him [846]:
7 Then shalt thou take [03947] the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and pour [03332] it upon his head [07218], and anoint [04886] him.
4 And Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] thou shalt bring [07126] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shalt wash [07364] them with water [04325].
26 For [1063] such [5108] an high priest [749] became [4241] us [2254], who is holy [3741], harmless [172], undefiled [283], separate [5563] from [575] sinners [268], and [2532] made [1096] higher than [5308] the heavens [3772];
27 Who [3739] needeth [2192] [318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [749], to offer up [399] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] once [2178], when he offered up [399] himself [1438].
28 For [1063] the law [3551] maketh [2525] men [444] high priests [749] which have [2192] infirmity [769]; but [1161] the word [3056] of the oath [3728], which [3588] was since [3326] the law [3551], maketh the Son [5207], who is consecrated [5048] for [1519] evermore [165].
6 That which is born [1080] of [1537] the flesh [4561] is [2076] flesh [4561]; and [2532] that which is born [1080] of [1537] the Spirit [4151] is [2076] spirit [4151].
5 Jesus [2424] answered [611], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Except [3362] a man [5100] be born [1080] of [1537] water [5204] and [2532] of the Spirit [4151], he cannot [3756] [1410] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316].
5 Not [3756] by [1537] works [2041] of [1722] righteousness [1343] which [3739] we [2249] have done [4160], but [235] according to [2596] his [846] mercy [1656] he saved [4982] us [2248], by [1223] the washing [3067] of regeneration [3824], and [2532] renewing [342] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151];
9 Let thy priests [03548] be clothed [03847] with righteousness [06664]; and let thy saints [02623] shout for joy [07442].
11 Depart [05493] ye, depart [05493] ye, go ye out [03318] from thence, touch [05060] no unclean [02931] thing; go ye out [03318] of the midst [08432] of her; be ye clean [01305], that bear [05375] the vessels [03627] of the LORD [03068].
1 Having [2192] therefore [3767] these [5025] promises [1860], dearly beloved [27], let us cleanse [2511] ourselves [1438] from [575] all [3956] filthiness [3436] of the flesh [4561] and [2532] spirit [4151], perfecting [2005] holiness [42] in [1722] the fear [5401] of God [2316].
