This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Which signified the gifts and graces of the Holy Ghost, wherewith Christ; as, and the priests ought to be, replenished. See Isa_61:1 1Jo_2:27. But here ariseth a difficulty; for this anointing is sometimes spoken of as peculiar to the high priest, as Lev_21:10, sometimes as common to all the priests, Exo_30:30 40:14,15, which may be thus reconciled: the oil, was sprinkled upon all the priests, and their right ears, thumbs, and toes, and their garments, Exo_29:20,21 Le 8:30, but it was poured out upon the head only of the high priest, Psa_133:2, who herein was a type of Christ, who was
anointed above his fellows, Psa_45:7 Heb_1:9.
