This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Moses did not only sprinkle the book of the covenant with blood, but the tabernacle itself, yearly, on the atonement day, as is charged, Lev_16:14,16,17. For as the altar and persons were to be atoned for, so was the tabernacle itself, Heb_9:18,20. First they were sprinkled, and then anointed, Lev_8:10,11, as the gospel tabernacle was in the truth of it, 1Co_6:11. All the garments and vessels of that priesthood were thus to be purified, typifying how unclean all the persons ministering with them, and atoned for in and by them, were; and how polluting all things, and polluted by them, till they were purified by the blood of Christ.
