Fourthly, The High Priest being clothed, was anointed with the Holy Oil poured on his Head, and running down over all his Garments, v. 7. Psalm 132. v. 2. The making, and use of this Ointment, prefiguring the Unction of the Lord Christ with all the Graces of the Spirit, Heb. 1.6. are declared, Chap. 30. v. 25.
Fourthly, The High Priest being cloathed, was anointed with the Holy Oyle poured on his Head, and running down over all his Garments, v. 7. Psalm 132. v. 2. The making, and use of this Ointment, prefiguring the Unction of the Lord Christ with all the Graces of the Spirit, Heb. 1.6. are declared, Chap. 30. v. 25.
Fifthly, Sacrifices of all sorts were offered unto God. 1. The Mincha or Meat-Offering. 2. The Chataath or Sin-Offering, v. 13, 1, 4. 3. The Hola, or whole Burnt Offerings, v. 18.25. 4. Shelamim or Peace-Offerings, v. 25. 5. Tenumoth, and Tenuphoth, Heave, and Wave-Offerings, v. 25, 26. 6. Nesek or the Drink-Offerings; v. 40. So that in the Consecration of the Priest, all Sacrifices also were as it were a-new consecrated unto God.
Sixthly, In the use of this Sacrifice there were five Ceremonies used belonging in a peculiar manner unto their Consecration. 1. The Filling of their Hand, Ver. 9. [Greek or Hebrew]. This we have rendered, Thou shalt consecrate them, as though their Consecration was some peculiar Act distinct from these prescribed Ceremonies. But that which is thus expressed, is only one of them; or the putting of some parts of the Sacrifice into, or upon their Hands to bear to the Altar, which being the first Action in them belonging to the Sacerdotal Office, (for in all the former passages they were merely passive) is sometimes by a Synecdoche used for Consecration its self. 2. The putting of Blood, upon the Tips of their right Ears, and upon the Thumbs of their right Hands, and the great Toes of their right Feet, v. 20. intimating their readiness to hear, and perform the Will of God. And this blood was taken from one of the Rams that was offered for a Burnt-Offering. 3. The sprinkling of them with blood from the Altar, and the Anointing Oil together, upon all their Garments, v. 21. The Imposition, or laying of their hands on the Head of the Beast to be sacrificed for a Sin-Offering, v. 10.15. denoting the passing away of their sin from them, that they might be fit to Minister before the Lord. 5. The delivery of the Wave-Offering into their Hands as a pledge of their future portion, v. 24, 28.
