10. Ver. 3. It is said, He shall give her to Eleazar the Priest. Who delivered up Christ to be slain? In the letter, the Jews; in the mystery, the Elect. But why delivered to the Priest? to note (as in all other sacrifices) the priesthood of Christ by his eternal spirit offering up himself to God, Heb. 9.14. perhaps to foretell, that the Priests should kill Christ. But why to Eleazar, rather then to Aaron? Some say, because Aaron had offended in the Calf: But other say, to note, that the passion of Christ should not only serve for that time, or the time under the law; but for their successors, and all successions to come; and to note, that this was a doctrine to be delivered down by all Ministers one after another.
