Leviticus 8:10-12

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Levitical anointings.

The subjects of these anointings, as brought under our notice in the text, are, generally, "the tabernacle and all that was therein." From amongst these included things we have afterwards particularly specified, "the altar and all his vessels," and "the laver and his foot." The anointing of Aaron also is distinctly mentioned. We shall review these in order.

I. THE TABERNACLE.

1. This was an emblem of the moral universe. The holy places represented the heavens (, ). Thus

2. It was sanctified with the holy anointing oil ().

II. THE ALTAR AND THE LAVER.

1. The altar and all his vessels.

2. The laver and his foot.

III. AARON.

1. The oil was poured upon Aaron's head.

2. But when was the true oil poured upon Jesus?
