But what then must we understand by ⟨p. 97⟩these Lavers, and by this Sacrifice being washed in them, in order to its being burned upon the Altar.
I answer, verily, I think, that the ten Lavers were a figure of the ten Commandments: In the purity and perfection of Christ's obedience to which, he became capable of being made a burnt-offering, acceptable to God for the sins of the People. Christ was made under the Law, and all his acts of obedience to God for us, was legal, and his living thus a perfect legal life, was his washing his offering in these ten Lavers, in order to his presenting it upon the Altar for our sins. The Lavers went upon Wheels, to signify walking feet, and Christ walked in the Law, and so became a clean offering to God for us. The Wheels were of the very same as was the Lavers; To show that Christ's obedience to the Law was of the same, as to length and breadth with its commands, and demands to their utmost tittle and extent. The inwards and legs of the burnt-offering was to be washed in these Lavers, Levit. 1.9, 13. 2 Chro. 4.6. To show that Christ should be pure and clean in heart and life.
